I just put
\usepackage{palatino}
\usepackage{helvet}
in the LaTeX source. It used to be 'times' iso 'palatino' but that gave
problems for supporting locales requiring 'latin2' as input encoding. And
that 'times' has been in there for quite a while without anybody complaining.
So I hope I did this right. :-)
Thanks,
Ardo

Re: problem generating PDF output for large DebianDoc docs
Hi, I solved the problem for Woody by changing the way the ISO character entities are supported in LaTeX resulting in less memory usage so we don't run in the pool size limitation. I'll revisit this whole stuff in woody+1. Another problem fixed is that for Italian docs with the 'tilde' character (and for some reason a Spanish doc had problems with the 'circumflex' character so that is fixed too). Another thing worth mentioning is that I changed the fonts to 'Palatino' and 'Helvetica' to improve readability of the PDF and PS docs. As far as I know there're no further problems holding up Woody (at least from my perspective :-). I'll uplaod the new version with the urgency set to 'high'.

I'm not sure where exactly the boundary lies, but the debian-policy (350K) is definitely too big to be turned into a PDF document; the PS version can be generated without a problem. The culprit is the added support for the complete ISO character entity set. This is done (amongst others) by using the 'amssymb' LaTeX package which takes up a lot of space. I'm not exactly sure what to do. I could take out the support for the ISO character entities requiring the offending LaTeX package for now so we can at least have all this working for woody and resolve the problem with the appropriate authoritives on Debian's LaTeX packages in woody+1. Any other thoughts? If tetex-bin = 1.0.7+20011202-5.1 then it might help you to add /etc/texmf/texmf.d/90boot (or something appropriate name) which containes the line pool_size = 50 (or similar) and run update-texmf. Sorry if the problem is completely different from what I guessed. No, that's exactly in the right area. But I did what you suggested and I still get the same error. I somehow have got the feeling I might have to rebuild the LaTeX format and how do I do that?

Anyway, please check if /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf contains pool_size = 50 (or the value you set) Did you test with bigger value than 50?
