Try to use the ghostpdf.ppd printer description with your cups-pdf printer to get the options to embed the fonts. You should have this file already on your system, on mine it is /usr/share/ghostscript/8.15/lib/ghostpdf.ppd. The steps are: Webbrowser http://localhost:631 Printers tab, search for the cups-pdf printer Modify Printer Continue Continue paste the location of your ghostpdf.ppd in the field "Or Provide a PPD File:", press "Modify Printer" Now you can set the printer options. urs -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
