I would encourage Sun to continue using the system which has already been working for so many years so that it can focus on creating more good documentation with less cut-and-paste and more clarity. The complaints seem to be about flaws in the viewer programs rather than in the actual PDF.

Starting version 9, StarOffice/StarSuite will have the ability to produce pdf files in pdf/odf hybrid format. This is another strong ncentive to use StarOffice/StarSuite. But most importantly, thanks to Sun's unwavering support, these office suites have become some of the most powerful tools for generating complicated documents. :-) This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Re: [zfs-discuss] Formatting Problem of ZFS Adm Guide (pdf)
For the record, the source of the ZFS Admin Guide is created with a SGML editor that is not Framemaker. I agree that the evince PDF display problems are with the font changes only.

This is how so many PDFs are out there (company brochures, fliers etc) with commercial fonts and they look just right. I checked one of the PDFs and it does have all the fonts (including platino and helvetica) embedded as Type 1 font. It may have something to do with Type1 font or something else that FrameMaker is generating that evince is choking on because the PDFs look fine with Adobe Reader 8 (under wine-1.1), Foxit Reader (wine 1.1) & xpdf (3.02 from blastwave).

I believe you will find that the latest font headaches are due to transitions of fonts, not the applications that use them. -- richard ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
Re: [zfs-discuss] Formatting Problem of ZFS Adm Guide (pdf)
Evince likes to fuzz a number of PDFs. I too can't seem to nail the problems, but it seems that a number of PDFs from SUN have this problem (very wrong character spacing), and they all have been generated using FrameMaker. PDFs generated using TeX/LaTeX are *usually* ok.

> ZFS Administration Guide (in PDF format) does not > look very professional (at least on > Evince/OS2008.05). Please see attached screenshot. Looks like this is a display problem. It seems that certain fonts (monospace fonts) were not displayed by the version of Evince included in OS 2008.05. Please ignore this thread. I am re-posting it in the Indiana forum.
