dvipsone: "Helvetica not found"

[Frank Ganz]

Hi Jochen,

This I have found under c:\yandy\dvipsone\doc in file news.txt:

(*) EXPANSION OF %%IncludeResoure: font DSC COMMENTS IN EPS FILES:
    DVIPSONE now will include fonts when called for by %%IncludeFont:
    (DSC 2.0) or %%IncludeResource: font (DSC 3.0) in inserted EPS files.

    DVIPSONE will, however, not include fonts that are marked `printer
    resident' in the font substitution file.

    For `font expansion' to work reliably, you may have to set up a file
    called ATMFONTS.MAP --- in the PSFONTS directory --- to provide DVIPSONE
    with the accurate mapping from PS FontName (used in the %%IncludeFont
    comment) and the PFB file name. Each line in the file has the form

    <PS FontName>=<PFB File Name>       e.g.     TimesRoman=tir.pfb

    If DVIPSONE cannot find such a file, it will use ATM.INI, although,
    this can be somewhat risky, since ATM.INI lists Windows Face Name,
    not PS FontName.  So it is safer to make up an ATMFONTS.MAP file.

    You can turn off `font expansion' using -*i.

If you add -*i to the command line flag (or dviwindo.ini or when you create a dvispone.cmd file, which I believe needs to reside in your working directory) you will suppress "font expansion." Fonts inside EPS file will not be included in the PostScript. If you distill the PostScript to PDF and set Distiller or any other application to embed and subset fonts, Helvetica will then be embedded and subsetted successfully at this point. That might be easier then followoing the directions listed in the beginning of this text.

Thanks,
frank
