Hi!

I have a problem with vector fonts in pdf.

Let's take a sample file (sample.tex):

\documentclass[russian,english]{article}
\usepackage[cp1251]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
\noindent ABC
\selectlanguage{russian}
\noindent ДЖЫ
\noindent ABC
\end{document}

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

we get a sample.pdf. On the picture one can see that the first "ABC" proves to be in a vector font, but after switching to Russian both "ДЖЫ" and the second "ABC" are raster. How can I make a pdf with vector Russian fonts?

WBR,
Vladimir.

P.S. I use MikTeX 2.9.6730 now and do remember very well that in some earlier version of MikTeX there were no such problem. All fonts in pdf were vector ones.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

Hi to you, too!
Do you get the same result when running pdfLaTeX directly?
Then post the last couple of lines of your sample.log file of that pdfLaTeX run (where it lists the fonts used, each enclosed in <>).
My guess is, you're using cm standard font now and you used cm-super before.

Hi Vladimir!

You can install cm-super, that Rainer mentioned, as a normal package using the MiKTeX package manager. You don't need to add something in the code, it's automatically used if needed. Actually, it's used when T1 font encoding is enabled. That's actually recommendable.

So, if you verified that cm-super is installed, you can enable the (better, newer, non-default) T1 font encoding by

Code: Select all

1
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Test, if it improved.

If it doesn't, there's another option. The Latin Modern font was designed to be a future replacement for the default Computer Modern font. It's very similar and of high quality. You can load it by

Code: Select all

\usepackage{lmodern}

and keept the fontenc line.

P.S. I have tried TeX Live 2017 now and it works fine: all fonts in pdf are vector.

Nevertheless, it would be great to understand what is bad with MikTeX.

It's usually written close to the end of the log file (notice the <> characters enclosing each (path to) font file used.

Hi Vladimir,
sorry for the late reply, I'm currently a bit out of sync.

I'd still say you're missing the cm-super fonts in your MikTeX installation.
What does the same section give you under TeXLive? Since it's working there, I'd assume you've got cm-super installed in TL but not in MikTeX...
