Re: embed fonts in eps from R?

[Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com>]

Hi All

Sorry for bringing the issue back, but I've tried R's embedFonts and it
did no good. Fetched its return which was gs command, removed FONTPATH
(since I don't use any tricky ones and it was empty),  and had to
ran it with -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress and finally it DID IT! ;-)

So finally Makefile rule became

%_emb.pdf: %.pdf
    gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
       -sOutputFile=$@ $^

so I get

,-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| *$> for f in fig1.pdf fig1_emb.pdf;do echo ; pdffonts $f; done
|
| name                                 type         emb sub uni object ID
| ------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- ---------
| Helvetica                            Type 1       no  no  no       8  0
| Helvetica-Bold                       Type 1       no  no  no       9  0

| name                                 type         emb sub uni object ID
| ------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- ---------
| TDXOCJ+Helvetica                     Type 1C      yes yes no       9  0
| KTHKTE+Helvetica-Bold                Type 1C      yes yes no      11  0

I hope this would be of help for someone...
