When it's reverted, the file is processed without error, but margin kerning is missing (which was the original problem before patch-274). Following experiment is done _with_ patch-274. The "this can't happen" error happens within the line_break routine, which chokes on a margin_kern_node (which was filtered out before patch-274).If one adds margin_kern_node to the do_nothing list, like: mark_node,ins_node,adjust_node,margin_kern_node: do_nothing; othercases confusion("paragraph") it apparently works ok, and margin kerning is fine also (requires patch in hz.ch). But i need to understand how the line_break routine works, whether a do_nothing is the right thing to do...

The linux version works properly but the solaris one does not. The last font included in the pdf output produces the error: Unable to extract the embedded font 'KTGBVU+CMR8'. Some characters may not display or print correctly. when viewed with acroread (version 5 or 6, windows, linux and solaris versions). Note that no error is seen when viewed with ghostscript and xpdf. The above error comes from the file: ------------------------ \documentclass{article} \newcommand{\ip}[2]{(#1, #2)} \begin{document} This is an example input file. Footnotes \footnote{This is an example of a footnote.} pose no problem. \LaTeX\ is good at typesetting mathematical formulas like $ x-3y + z = 7 $ or $ a_{1} > x^{2n} + y^{2n} > x' $ or $ \ip{A}{B} = \sum_{i} a_{i} b_{i} $. The spaces you type in a formula are ignored. Remember that a letter like $x$ % $ ... $ and $ ... $ are equivalent is a formula when it denotes a mathematical symbol, and it should be typed as one. \end{document} ----------------------- The sigma is produced correctly. If however I comment out the footnote, the sigma in the summation is no longer viewable and the error message is Unable to extract the embedded font 'ATSTIO+CMEX10'. Some characters may not display or print correctly. I attach a pdf files produced on solaris. Is this a know problem with a patch available?

[ pdftex-Bugs-315 ] pdflatex on solaris font problems with acroread

The linux version works properly but the solaris one does not. The last font included in the pdf output produces the error: Unable to extract the embedded font 'KTGBVU+CMR8'. Some characters may not display or print correctly. when viewed with acroread (version 5 or 6, windows, linux and solaris versions). Note that no error is seen when viewed with ghostscript and xpdf. The above error comes from the file: ------------------------ \documentclass{article} \newcommand{\ip}[2]{(#1, #2)} \begin{document} This is an example input file. Footnotes \footnote{This is an example of a footnote.} pose no problem. \LaTeX\ is good at typesetting mathematical formulas like $ x-3y + z = 7 $ or $ a_{1} > x^{2n} + y^{2n} > x' $ or $ \ip{A}{B} = \sum_{i} a_{i} b_{i} $. The spaces you type in a formula are ignored. Remember that a letter like $x$ % $ ... $ and $ ... $ are equivalent is a formula when it denotes a mathematical symbol, and it should be typed as one. \end{document} ----------------------- The sigma is produced correctly. If however I comment out the footnote, the sigma in the summation is no longer viewable and the error message is Unable to extract the embedded font 'ATSTIO+CMEX10'. Some characters may not display or print correctly. I attach a pdf files produced on solaris. Is this a know problem with a patch available?

The linux version works properly but the solaris one does not. The last font included in the pdf output produces the error: Unable to extract the embedded font 'KTGBVU+CMR8'. Some characters may not display or print correctly. when viewed with acroread (version 5 or 6, windows, linux and solaris versions). Note that no error is seen when viewed with ghostscript and xpdf. The above error comes from the file: ------------------------ \documentclass{article} \newcommand{\ip}[2]{(#1, #2)} \begin{document} This is an example input file. Footnotes \footnote{This is an example of a footnote.} pose no problem. \LaTeX\ is good at typesetting mathematical formulas like $ x-3y + z = 7 $ or $ a_{1} > x^{2n} + y^{2n} > x' $ or $ \ip{A}{B} = \sum_{i} a_{i} b_{i} $. The spaces you type in a formula are ignored. Remember that a letter like $x$ % $ ... $ and $ ... $ are equivalent is a formula when it denotes a mathematical symbol, and it should be typed as one. \end{document} ----------------------- The sigma is produced correctly. If however I comment out the footnote, the sigma in the summation is no longer viewable and the error message is Unable to extract the embedded font 'ATSTIO+CMEX10'. Some characters may not display or print correctly. I attach a pdf files produced on solaris. Is this a know problem with a patch available? If you need further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

The linux version works properly but the solaris one does not. The last font included in the pdf output produces the error: Unable to extract the embedded font 'KTGBVU+CMR8'. Some characters may not display or print correctly. when viewed with acroread (version 5 or 6, windows, linux and solaris versions). Note that no error is seen when viewed with ghostscript and xpdf. The above error comes from the file: ------------------------ \documentclass{article} \newcommand{\ip}[2]{(#1, #2)} \begin{document} This is an example input file. Footnotes \footnote{This is an example of a footnote.} pose no problem. \LaTeX\ is good at typesetting mathematical formulas like $ x-3y + z = 7 $ or $ a_{1} > x^{2n} + y^{2n} > x' $ or $ \ip{A}{B} = \sum_{i} a_{i} b_{i} $. The spaces you type in a formula are ignored. Remember that a letter like $x$ % $ ... $ and $ ... $ are equivalent is a formula when it denotes a mathematical symbol, and it should be typed as one. \end{document} ----------------------- The sigma is produced correctly. If however I comment out the footnote, the sigma in the summation is no longer viewable and the error message is Unable to extract the embedded font 'ATSTIO+CMEX10'. Some characters may not display or print correctly. I attach a pdf files produced on solaris. Is this a know problem with a patch available? If you need further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

[ pdftex-Feature Requests-317 ] Add spaces to PDF file so reflow works..

Feature Requests item #317, was opened at 2005-03-23 12:43 You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=496&aid=317&group_id=106 Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: David Hedley (davidhedley) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Add spaces to PDF file so reflow works.. Initial Comment: Current PDFs generated by pdfTex do not 'reflow' properly with Acrobat Reader - selecting 'reflow' causes all the words to run together. This appears to be because pdfTex uses explicit kerns for spaces instead of including the space character in the text string. Is it possible to change this? (perhaps by including a space in the text string and adjusting the explicit kern by the width of the space) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=496&aid=317&group_id=106

[NTG-pdftex] [ pdftex-Feature Requests-316 ] cmap, pdftex, distiller

Feature Requests item #316, was opened at 2005-03-21 17:28 You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=496&aid=316&group_id=106 Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Michael Zedler (zedler) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: cmap, pdftex, distiller Initial Comment: Hello, In order to make pdf files searchable for non-latin characters (e.g. polytonic greek) one needs to include so-called cmap files into the pdf. As far as I know such a pdf can be generated by either 1) using pdflatex with cmap.sty and an appropriate .cmap file 2) using dvips+Distiller (not ps2pdf) Adobe Distiller seems to contain extra logic to automatatically generate appropriate cmaps and also translate ligatures into single-letter cmap entries. Generating cmap files by hand is pretty tedious, in particular if the encoding is automatically generated by e.g. a tool like otftotfm (non-standard ligatures are automatically but into free encoding slots; depending on the font version the assignment varies). Thus for the pdftex approach it'd be very nice to have this automatism, too. Possible?
