dvipsone: "Helvetica not found"

Thu Mar 4 14:36:28 CET 2004

Thank you

Creating the file ATMFONTS.MAP solved the problem.

You were correct that the missing font was required in one of the
embedded EPS files. This is also what I thought. Usually I save EPS
files with the fonts in order to avoid any trouble. It turned out that
one of the EPS files was saved without the fonts embedded. Below is
the output from dvipsone, using the "-v" option:

(snip)

figures/energy-diag-compVI.eps] [36 figures/energy-diag-compVII.eps]
[37 figures/energy-diag-compIV.eps] [38] [39 figures/Jfc-comp-VI.eps
figures/Jfc-comp-I.eps Helvetica not found] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [
45] [46] [47]
Max stack depth 10 - 21 font slots used - DVI file contains 47 pages
Time: 8.131 sec (0.01 sec per font file + 0.171 sec per page output)

Then I created a file ATMFONTS.MAP in C:\windows\fonts
(this is for an installation under WinXP without using ATM), with the
content

Helvetica=hv______.PFB

Running dvipsone again with the same command line now yields

$ dvipsone -K -v  paper2

Obviously, Helvetica was found this time.

Do you happen to know what the warning message
"Warning: no ATMREG.ATM"
is about? :-)
