Dear ghostscript experts--- [Mac OSX, gs 9.02.] I have BeraSans-Roman fonts that were originally distributed with texlive. I converted them to .otf format and added them to the OSX 10.6 system fonts. (This only required clicking in the OS. nice.) I can use yet another program (R) to produce figures that references the fonts (via afm metric files): name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- --------- ZapfDingbats Type 1 no no no 11 0 BeraSans-Roman Type 1 no no no 12 0 The resulting figures display fine on my system with the fonts clearly and correctly viewable. now I need to embed the fonts in the pdf file. presumably, I would do this with ps2pdf -DPDFSETTINGS=/prepress infile.pdf outfile.pdf alas, somehow I need to convince gs to use my otf font files. first, I created a Fontmap file in the local directory, but this seems to be ignored (garbage in it does not trigger an error). same result for / usr/local/share/ghostscript/9.02/Fontmap. how do I convince ps2pdf that BeraSans-Roman is fvsr8a.otf, and to embed the font in the pdf file? advice appreciated. /iaw
