Event that example does not compile on TL > 2009 using pdfTeX. I am currently enough out of touch from the TeX-world, that I don't even have TL 2009 installed somewhere. Nevertheless I made some tests which might help here. I created a tfm-File from DejaVuSans.ttf, a font that most of you should have on their system, and installed that in a very rough fashion for TeX. Addapted test files then showed the desired bahviour, i.e. the font is marked as subsetted and the file is small when I tell pdfTeX (from TL 2007) to do so. Here the most important steps I took: $ cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf ~/texmf/fonts/truetype/public/dejavu $ ttf2tfm /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf DejaVuSans.tfm $ mv DejaVuSans.tfm ~/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/dejavu/ The two testfiles are: $ cat subset.tex \pdfmapline{+DejaVuSans <8r.enc <DejaVuSans.ttf} \font\DejaVuSans DejaVuSans at 20pt \DejaVuSans \input tufte \bye $ cat no-subset.tex \pdfmapline{+DejaVuSans <<DejaVuSans.ttf} \font\DejaVuSans DejaVuSans at 20pt \DejaVuSans \input tufte \bye And the result after pdfTeXing them: $ pdffonts subset.pdf name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- --------- QWMSKX+DejaVuSans TrueType yes yes no 4 0 SDXKYB+CMR10 Type 1 yes yes no 5 0 $ pdffonts no-subset.pdf name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- --------- DejaVuSans TrueType yes no no 4 0 SDXKYB+CMR10 Type 1 yes yes no 5 0 In addition no-subset.pdf is larger than subset.pdf by a factor of about 20. So it looks like everything is fine in TL 2007. I would guess that the same holds true for TL 2009 and I hope you can retrace my steps using the above description. cheerio ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
