[Copying the list]<br>
<br>
The problem is that the EPS which metapost produces by <br>
default is not self-contained. The fonts are not <br>
embedded. TeX-relatex software like dvips, dvipdfmx <br>
and pdflatex know how to handle that, but programs <br>
like ghostscript need the fonts either in the EPS <br>
file or in the system.<br>
<br>
If you include the line <br>
<br>
prologues := 3;<br>
<br>
in your .mp file before any figures, MP will embed all<br>
the fonts you use (provided it can find them, but that <br>
includes all fonts installed in the TeX system).<br>
<br>
See sections 3 and 8.1 of mpman.pdf (pages 5 and 24 <br>
in my version).<br>
