Dear Shrisha Rao,<br>Thanks for your message. pdffonts is a great tool; I didn't know about it.<br>As for ps2pdf, I use pdflatex directly, so there's no need for ps.<br><br>Best,<br>Nicolas<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>The shell command-lined utility `pdffonts' (see<br>
<a href="http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_pdffonts.htm" target="_blank">http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_pdffonts.htm</a>) available on<br>
Linux as well as via Fink for Mac OS X also works.<br>
<br>
On the specific question of embedding fonts in a PDF (after first<br>
generating a *.ps file from the *.dvi file), this seems to work for me<br>
(replace $<a href="http://1.ps" target="_blank">1.ps</a> with the file name if invoking from the command line):<br>
<br>
ps2pdf14 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dEmbedAllFonts=true $<a href="http://1.ps" target="_blank">1.ps</a><br>
<br>
`ps2pdf14' may be aliased from `ps2pdf' on some systems, or it may<br>
need to be installed. I have generally (in my LaTeX experience) found<br>
this a safer route than generating the PDF directly using pdflatex,<br>
dvipdf or whatever. Of course, I suppose that with XeLaTeX this<br>
option no longer exists.<br>
