Bug#411651: epstopdf: embedding all fonts (small patch)
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-29
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The following small patch adds an option --embed to epstopdf which
makes epstopdf embed all fonts into the generated PDF.
This is very useful when using pdflatex to compile a document with
figures from EPS sources. Otherwise, if the figures contain
non-embedded fonts, the resulting PDF document won't have all fonts
embedded either, which, however, is requested by many publishers.
The patch works for me, but I'm no ghostscript expert to tell if this
is the best way to do it.
Regards,
Daniel
