Problem with *not* embedding fonts with latest texlive from sid
Hi, all.
Please, keep me Cc'ed as I am not currently subscribed to this list.
Well, with that aside, I am trying to produce PS/PDF documents that
don't embed their fonts. For this purpose, I am trying to stick with
Times, which is on the Base14 font set.
Unfortunately, this is what I am getting on my system (which is a
completely vanilla texlive installation):
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
rbrito@chagas:~$ cat times.tex
\font\somefont=ptmr
\somefont ABCDEFGHIJK T ?xy ffi
\bye
rbrito@chagas:~$ tex times
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.6)
(./times.tex [1] )
Output written on times.dvi (1 page, 276 bytes).
Transcript written on times.log.
rbrito@chagas:~$ dvips times

rbrito@chagas:~$

Actually, the only change that I know of from a vanilla texlive install
is that I created a file named /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00local.cfg whose
contents are only comments and:
dvipsDownloadBase35 false
pdftexDownloadBase14 false
dvipdfmDownloadBase14 false
I don't know why CMR10 is being embedded, as my tiny tex document listed
above doesn't use any of the Computer Modern family. Also, I saw that
the contents of "times.ps" *does* indeed contain the part respective to
CMR10.
Is there any way to avoid it? I do need to strip everything here to a
bare minimum (yes, I do know that Adobe doesn't recommend that).
Thanks, Rogério Brito.
