Hi, that's the problem we have been discussing about which fm entry to return for a given base name + slant + extent. I had some discussion with Hartmut, and it should be feasible to implement what I suggested in my previous mail:
For example, we can choose which tfm should be used regard to the following checks (in descending priority):
* the tfm has been used (some char from this font has been typeset) * the tfm has been loaded (but not used yet) * the tfm can be loaded (but not loaded yet) * the tfm is present in map files, but cannot be loaded. In this case a dummy tfm can be loaded instead, and warning should be written
if this is implemented, in your example pdftex would check for all fm entry with the base name 'Palatino-Roman' and select the 'right' one instead of the first one (uplr8y) as it is doing at the moment. Thanh On Thu, May 13, 2004 at 11:26:13PM +0200, Hans Hagen wrote:
Hi,
The 'old version' of pdftex had problems with including pdf files that uses fonts not present on the system (well, my system):
Font \csname\endcsname=uplr8y not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
the new (djgpp) version still has:
: invalid font dict type <null>
the last couple of days i switched to map files with FontNames again, but i regret that move already.
I'm puzzled because i thought that Hartmuts code took care of that.
I need to make a decision: either ship with or without FontName entries in map files; (i never had problems without them, but since it was mentioned that inclusion was more efficient with them...)
Is it possible to provide
\pdfoptionignorefontnames=1
that 'ignores' the font name entries in map files?
