Hi, I tried the test file from Hartmut with all pdf browsers that I have and didn't get any warning. Can someone verify whether the same file compiled with pdftex 1.30.6 caused any warnings with gs? Anyway, fwiw, pdf spec has been improved a lot to clarify how truetype fonts are treated by adobe viewers. See p399, section "Encodings for TrueType Fonts". The current implementation was done using a trial-and-error approach, since that time the (old) pdf spec didn't say how TTF are treated. We can change pdftex to conform the spec (not a big change). But this may have some big impact on backward compability. Thanh On Fri, Jan 19, 2007 at 01:46:33AM +0100, Hartmut Henkel wrote:

The pdftex mailing list would be a better place. See http://www.pdftex.org/README

Can anybody tell me what's wrong, and if there is a ghostscript version capable to view the output of pdftex 1.40.1? Without it it is useless for me. :-(
I can view sample2e.pdf or the pdftex manual fine with gs 8.54.
e. g. when i run this test file through pdftex-1.40.1
%$Id: test4.tex,v 1.3 2006/01/06 20:24:10 hahe Exp hahe $ \pdfcompresslevel=0 \nopagenumbers \pdfmapline{qtmr <8r.enc
ok, this <8r.enc is the wrong encoding for this, so it's not surprising that glyphs in this test file PDF come out wrongly.
\font\qtmr qtmr at 10pt \pdffontexpand\qtmr 30 30 5 autoexpand \pdfadjustspacing=2 \qtmr
\input tufte \input tufte \input tufte \input tufte
\bye
then gs 8.54 tells "**** Warning: Encoding not present." But it looks ok. Could there be anything missing inside the embedded TTF font?
Would this warning go away if one uses the right encoding vector?
