t) if this is possible. When you say the .pdf is 10x bigger, I assume you mean the file size, rather than the scaling of the output. This will be due to the fact I embed the entire font if you "use" it whilst 'gs' subsets the font to only include the glyphs you actually require. Of course this "overhead" reduces when dealing with larger .trf files. Cheers Deri
