Package: gs-gpl
Version: 8.50-1.1
Severity: normal
Hi,
GS contains a mapping (under the file `Fontmap.GS') that allows it to properly
map Adobe font names (e.g., `Times-Roman') to their free equivalent font by URW++
(e.g., `NimbusRomNo9L-Regu' --- these fonts are available in the `gsfonts'
package).
However, when converting a PS file that refers to the Adobe font names (in DSC
comments) to PDF with the `prepress' setting (using `ps2pdf
-dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress'; this setting tells GS to embed all fonts in the
resulting PDF file, among other things), GS does _not_ embed the URW++ fonts in
the resulting file, although the fontmap file is accessible.
Thanks,
Ludovic.
