| Subject | ps2pdf, convert font to curve. |
| Message-ID | <jcic47$b9l$1@dont-email.me> |
Hi there, I have learned that -dNOCACHE in ghostscript can do such thing when converting a pdf file to ps file. However, when converting a ps file to pdf file, the options seems not to work. Thus, is it possible to convert font to curve? Any suggestions or comments will be really appreciated. Regards, Jinsong

Only with th pswrite device which is deprecated, its replacement, ps2write, behaves the same as pdfwrite and embed fonts natively. > However, when converting a ps file to > pdf file, the options seems not to work. > > Thus, is it possible to convert font to curve? No, not with ps2write or pdfwrite. Ken

As uhhu says later, the device is still present (pswrite), but its deprecated, it'll probably be removed at some point. In the meantime you can still use it from the GS command line. The batch/script files were changed so that the default behavious is to use ps2write, otherwise nobody ever changes..... Ken

If they did change the script behavior, then this should work: gs -dNOCACHE -sDEVICE=pswrite -o tmp.ps inputfile.ps ps2pdf tmp.ps outputfile.ps
