ps2pdf can't embed a font it doesn't know about. You could tell ghostscript about your font (if you were using Debian, you'd register your font with Defoma) -- but your best bet is to get OOo to do its job in the first place :P Unfortunately I have no experience with OOo or kword, but I find it strange that its hard to embed fonts. Which font in particular are you having trouble with? Personally, I always produce pdfs with pdfTeX (through ConTeXt, pdfLaTeX or pdfJadeTeX) and it embeds fonts quite nicely ;) -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
