Status: Closed Resolution: Rejected Priority: 5 Submitted By: Stan Swiercz (swiercz) Assigned to: Thomas Esser (tetex) Summary: pdflatex on solaris font problems with acroread
Initial Comment: I have compiled pdflatex 1.2.1a that comes with teTeX 3.0 on both linux and solaris. 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. Stan ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 Yes, this is definitely a problem for some specific solaris installations which I can't reproduce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stan Swiercz (swiercz) Date: 2005-03-23 15:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2345 I have done more debugging and I find that with a newer solaris 9 kernel the executable works fine. There is some patch to the OS that fixes this. This is something static as when I run this executable on a solaris machine running an older solaris9 kernel or solaris8 it works properly. Further digging I find that when I run the linker command on the older solaris 9 machine it produces a faulty executable BUT if I run "g++ -v" to see what the real linking command is and cut and paste it so as to run it instead the executable produces a pdf viewable with acroread. The basic g++ link command is c++ -o pdfetex pdfetexini.o pdfetex0.o pdfetex1.o pdfetex2.o pdfetex3.o pdfetexextra.o ../../libs/md5/md5.o pdftexdir/libpdf.a ../../libs/libpng/libpng.a ../../libs/zlib/libz.a ../../libs/xpdf/xpdf/libxpdf.a ../../libs/xpdf/goo/libGoo.a ../../libs/xpdf/fofi/libfofi.a -lsocket lib/lib.a ../kpathsea/.libs/libkpathsea.a -lm Instead of running this on older kernels I used /encs/pkg/gcc-3.3.2/root/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.2/collect2 -V -Y P,/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/lib -L /local/lib -L /encs/lib -Qy -o pdfetex /encs/pkg/gcc-3.3.2/root/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.2/crt1.o /encs/pkg/gcc-3.3.2/root/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.2/crti.o /usr/ccs/lib/values-Xa.o /encs/pkg/gcc-3.3.2/root/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.2/crtbegin.o -L/encs/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.2 -L/encs/bin/../lib/gcc-lib -L/encs/pkg/gcc-3.3.2/root/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.2 -L/usr/ccs/bin -L/usr/ccs/lib -L/encs/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.2/../../.. -L/encs/pkg/gcc-3.3.2/root/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.2/../../.. pdfetexini.o pdfetex0.o pdfetex1.o pdfetex2.o pdfetex3.o pdfetexextra.o ../../libs/md5/md5.o pdftexdir/libpdf.a ../../libs/libpng/libpng.a ../../libs/zlib/libz.a ../../libs/xpdf/xpdf/libxpdf.a ../../libs/xpdf/goo/libGoo.a ../../libs/xpdf/fofi/libfofi.a -lsocket lib/lib.a ../kpathsea/.libs/libkpathsea.a -lstdc++ -lm -lgcc_s -lgcc -lc -lgcc_s -lgcc -lc /encs/pkg/gcc-3.3.2/root/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.2/crtend.o /encs/pkg/gcc-3.3.2/root/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.2/crtn.o For the record /usr/ccs/lib/values-Xa.o is the same on both systems. I don't understrand... I also tracked down what the difference was between a pdf file that displays and does not display. The one that does display correctly has /Type /Page /Contents 49 0 R /Resources 47 0 R /MediaBox [0 0 612 792] /Parent 25 0 R
endobj 47 0 obj << /Font << /F8 12 0 R /F27 24 0 R /F11 31 0 R /F13 37 0 R /F7 18 0 R /F10 34 0 R >> /ProcSet [ /PDF /Text ] endobj 45 0 obj << /Length1 946 /Length2 3204 /Length3 532 /Length 3847 /Filter /FlateDecode
while the one that does not has /Type /Page /Contents 49 0 R /Resources 47 0 R /MediaBox [0 0 612 792] /Parent 25 0 R
endobj 47 0 obj << /Font << /F8 12 0 R /F27 24 0 R /F11 31 0 R /F13 37 0 R /F7 18 0 R /F10 34 0 R >> /ProcSet [ /PDF /Text ] endobj 45 0 obj << /Length1 268436401 /Length2 3204 /Length3 532 /Length 3848 /Filter /FlateDecode
the 946 has turned into 268436401! Hope this info helps.

Compiling the example on teTeX 3.0 on Linux produces a pdf that shows no problems in AR. A possible cause for the message by AR might be this extract from pdf_test_solaris.pdf: --------- 29 0 obj << /Length1 268436401 /Length2 3204 --------- Length1 is definitely wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2005-03-23 14:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 I can reproduce the problem with AR5 and AR7(latest "beta") on Linux. I can't reproduce it with gs 8.50 and Jaws. I suspect that this is a bug in AR. :-( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=315&group_id=106
