I think you are right, Les. The huge number of fonts must be from the figures, which is worrisome b/c I have over 100 figures. Most figures are saved as pdf from matlab, while the rest are printed from powerpoint and tinycad using pdfcreator. For most figures, I use a script to automatically calculate the bounding box, which uses pdftops, ps2eps, and finally epstopdf. Maybe a solution would be to see whether any of those 3 programs can be set to embed all fonts.
Using pdffonts, I have ~100 type 1 fonts (most not embedded), 10 truetype fonts (all embedded), ~10 type 3 fonts (all embedded), ~3 type 1c fonts (embedded), and 1 CID truetype font (embedded). So Les, if I'm understanding you correctly, I should only potentially have trouble with the type3 and CID1 fonts becoming bitmapped if I use ps2pdf. As a first try, I will use pdflatex, then pdf2ps, then ps2pdf to see how it looks, since it's easier than redoing all my figures. I know basically nothing about all this font business, but naively it seems like some program should just be able to see which fonts are not embedded, and then add them to the pdf. Is there a basic reason this wouldn't work? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/how-do-I-embed-all-fonts-using-pdflatex-on-windows--tp17246337p17256501.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
