Mysterious type 3 fonts appearing in compiled PDF

Post by meho_r »

I tested your code on a freshly installed TeXLive2010 system (minimal). After installation of recommended fonts (collection-fontsrecommended or texlive-fonts-recommended or whatever its equivalent on MikTeX is) font msbm is embedded correctly as Type1.

Thanks so much for the help. I tried, unsuccessfully, to make MiKTeX work with type 1 fonts. I did everything imaginable. Since it apparently works right on TeXLive, I uninstalled MikTeX and installed TeXLive after an agonizing process that took the whole day. I ran into some hiccups after I installed it with LaTeX using a different type of calligraphy font (due to mathptmx seemingly) but I finally got it to work as it should.

Thanks again for all the help.

Now that the problem is solved, please be so kind and mark the topic (not the last post) accordingly as clearly written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read before posting). Please keep that in mind for the future so that a reminder will not be necessary anymore.


Best regards
Thorsten
