The default Hebrew font come only in metafont format, which means it will be converted to bitmap when embedded in the PDF. IF you want a PDF file that looks good with Acrobat reader, you need to use either Postscript type 1 fonts (e.g. Culmus), Postscript type42 fonts, or TTF fonts (the latter can be used only with pdflatex, but it is possible to convert a TTF font to Postscript type 1 or 42). > > I've never used pdflatex, but dvips -> ps2pdf works. > > Actually it does not (for the default English font).

With earlier versions, you need to write dvips -Ppdf -G0, or add the following lines to ~/.dvipsrc p+ bsr.map p+ bsr-interpolated.map p+ hoekwater.map ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
