Status: Closed Resolution: Duplicate Priority: 5 Submitted By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Assigned to: Hartmut Henkel (hhenkel) Summary: Missing pfbs lead to invalid pdf

Initial Comment: Try this file: ----------- \pdfmapline{} \nopagenumbers \font\ugqb ugqb8r at 10pt \ugqb foo \bye ----------- with ugqb8r.tfm in your texmf, but without the pfb. Here is the log from pdftex: ----------- This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.50.0-alpha-20070219 (Web2C 7.5.6) entering extended mode (./fonts20070225.tex [1]kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 1200 --mag 1+0/1200 --dpi 1200 ugqb8r mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for ugqb8r. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. ) pdfTeX warning: pdftex (file ugqb8r): Font ugqb8r at 1200 not found Output written on fonts20070225.pdf (1 page, 1018 bytes). Transcript written on fonts20070225.log. ----------- So a pdf is written, but it's invalid:

name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- --------- Error: font resource is not a dictionary ----------- indeed the font object (#4) doesn't even exist. pdfTeX shall not generate invalid pdfs, so in this case it should abort. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2007-02-26 08:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=710 this problem is already meantioned in bug #721. In a mail I sent to Hartmut: when you fix bug 721, can you please go through those pdftex_warn's to see whether any other of them should be changed to pdftex_fatal as well? Personally I always vote for the approach "quit at any problem", however from time to time somebody asked to change an error to a warning and usually I did it without much checking. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2007-02-25 16:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 This all started in a thread on texhax: http://tug.org/pipermail/texhax/2007-February/007916.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=737&group_id=106
