Hi, The 'old version' of pdftex had problems with including pdf files that uses fonts not present on the system (well, my system): Font \csname\endcsname=uplr8y not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. the new (djgpp) version still has: : invalid font dict type <null> the last couple of days i switched to map files with FontNames again, but i regret that move already. I'm puzzled because i thought that Hartmuts code took care of that. I need to make a decision: either ship with or without FontName entries in map files; (i never had problems without them, but since it was mentioned that inclusion was more efficient with them...) Is it possible to provide \pdfoptionignorefontnames=1 that 'ignores' the font name entries in map files?
