Missing characters when including eps image

Post by ryanames »

Hi

I'm including an eps image of a table I produced in MS excel. For tick marks in the rows I used the Monotype Sorts font. After converting the table to eps and including it in my tex document the tick marks dont display in the final pdf.

I assume this is because Tex doesn't recognise the Monotype Sorts font but is there any way around it:

Can I find the font anywhere and use it in LaTex - I have looked all morning with no luck

Is there a way to save or include the table as an image without encoding the font i.e. just a jpeg or pdf image (I have tried both with bounding box and undefined memory errors respectively)

the memory error

Code: Select all

pdf:
     [exec] Error: /undefined in obj
     [exec] Operand stack:
     [exec]    1   0
     [exec] Execution stack:
     [exec]    %interp_exit   .runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   2   %stopped_push   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   false   1   %stopped_push   1813   1   3   %oparray_pop   1812   1   3   %oparray_pop   1808   1   3   %oparray_pop   1691   1   3   %oparray_pop   --nostringval--   %errorexec_pop   .runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   2   %stopped_push   --nostringval--
     [exec] Dictionary stack:
     [exec]    --dict:1083/1123(ro)(G)--   --dict:0/20(G)--   --dict:70/200(L)--   --dict:112/300(L)--   --dict:43/200(L)--
     [exec] Current allocation mode is local
     [exec] GPL Ghostscript 8.57: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
     [exec] dvips: Problems with file writing; probably disk full.

BUILD FAILED
/Users/home/Documents/continuation_report/build.xml:109: exec returned: 1
Any help advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

I suggest to attach the EPS file here. Perhaps we can reproduce it with LaTeX methods. In my opinion your way of including tables is not very elegant.
