I tell you what I remember about metapost pictures.
Perhaps some of these things are also true for others ps pictures.
I've done that a long time ago and I'm not sure of that.
I have now not time enough to verify it, I hope it works.
If it works, please tell it to me.
What I remember :
1) With
prologues:=0;
in the .mp source file :
-- windvi doesn't display the text (and, on my system,
windvi stop displaying the remainig pictures of the
page)
-- using dvips (with a good psfonts.map) provides
a .ps file with the text with the right fonts (bitmaps
fonts included in the .ps).
2) With
prologues:=2;
in the .mp source file :
-- windvi display the text but perhaps with wrong fonts
-- using dvips provides a .ps file with the text but perhaps
with wrong fonts
If you want the right fonts you need to have, in the file
fontmap of the \gslib directory of ghostcript, the reference
to the fonts you use in the .mp source. For exemple, if you
use cm fonts, you need to download the fontmap.cmr file
(from /ctan/fonts/cm/ps-type1/contrib/), put this file in
\gslib and add the line
(Fontmap.cmr) .runlibfile
at the end of the fontmap file of \gslib.
Some explanations are in the begining of the fontmap.gs
file of the \gslib directory.
I hope this will help you.
