Poor black text printing quality

Thanks Stefan

I have the following already in my preamble:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}


I will have a look at printers etc.

How can I check that the font is installed? Is this through the MikTeX package manager?

The package LM (\fonts\outline fonts) has a date stamp in the ...

Poor black text printing quality

Dear all,

I hope this is the correct forum to post to.

I have a large double sided document (thesis) that is complete and now needs to be printed out at high quality.

I am using LaTeX > DVI > PS > PDF.

The document builds without error.

I have noticed on my draft prints that the black is not ...

MiKTeX: no output and truncated log file

Dear all,

Just closing this issue out. It is solved, though my knowledge is not comprehensive enough to explain it in depth.

I was using LaTeX > DVI > PS > PDF. The problem was with the fonts not being written from the DVI file to the postscript file in dvips.

I included the following in my ...

Re: No output after recovering from system rebuild

Dear all,

I was wondering if anyone had any further thoughts on this issue. I have been able to get most of my editing done referring to the DVI file, but the submission date for this document is on the horizon it is looking now like it will have to be a systematic troubleshooting process rather ...

Re: No output after recovering from system rebuild

Stefan,

Many thanks for your assistance. Apologies for the delayed response.

My document builds without error - only some bad boxes. The text is in the DVI file, but appears as white space in the PS and PDF files. I am using LaTeX > PS > PDF in TeXnicCenter.

Please find attached my log file and ...

Re: No output after recovering from system rebuild

I have had a bit more of a look and the DVI file is built correctly. I can at least get on to editing my document now using the DVI file. I will need to sort out the missing text obviously.

Maybe it could be to do with installed fonts?

Regards

Andrew Sims

Re: No output after recovering from system rebuild

Stefan

Thank you very much for that reply. It was set to download with notification. I changed it to download automatically. The document now builds.

It does not completely solve my problems though.

Now the document builds (LaTeX > PS > PDF) and writes the output file. It is the correct size and ...

MiKTeX: no output and truncated log file

Dear all,

Recently I needed to get my computer (Windows XP 32 bit) completely rebuilt. I have re-installed LaTeX (MikTeX 2.9) and TeXnicCenter. They seem to be running OK. I can successfully build a sample document. I have set my custom style directories as per the TeX directory structure and ...

eps figure displayed as blank in document

Stefan

Thanks for the welcome and reply.

I might be a bit far down the line to simply change to using pdflatex. I am using a number of matlab plots along the way that I have used the psfrag utility to match typefaces etc where possible. I understand that the psfrag functionality is not compatible ...

eps figure displayed as blank in document

Hi

I have a figure to include in my thesis (bplot.eps) which was created by printing to ps from Minitab. I then opened the image in gsview32 v4.9 successfully and converted to an EPS by defining the desired bounding box.

I then tried to include the image in my latex document using the following ...
