The problem is really just with the PDF file.
This is very strange.

Ghostview is free and can be used to create PDF files: http://icking-music-archive.org/scores/Howto_ps2PDF.html but I thought that was what you were using. > - Exception > The only letters embedded as type1 fonts in the PDF are those in an M-Tx > "Title:" line (only if I do not choose any font, e.g. \Bigtype). Have you compared the names of the text fonts in the PS file with the available .map and .pfb files?

Isn't there a way for using type M slurs with line break > slurs? As I stated in the PMX manual, future PMX slurs enhancements will be made assuming that type K slurs are being used. It's just too much work for me to try to support both. I selected Type K instead of Type M because (a) I didn't want to go through the hassle of getting Metafont up and running, and (b) I'm turned off by the notion that a gazillion separate files are produced when type M slurs are used. But there MUST be way to solve your problem, because I succeeded in getting type 1 fonts in my Redhat Linux system, using type K slurs and ps2pdf. If no one else offers any new ideas that lead to a resolution, could you send me the following set of files on a *short* example demonstrating your problem: 1. PMX source 2. Your resulting TeX file 3. Your dvi file from your TeX compilation 4. Your ps file from your dvips setup 5. You PDF file from ps2pdf. --Don Simons _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
