Have you configured the cups-pdf printer to embed the fonts? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If cups is locally installed, then just open the webbrowser and |
| 29 |
go to http://localhost:631/ This opens a connection to the local |
| 30 |
cups administration interface. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Select the "printers" tab, and search for the cups-pdf printer. |
| 33 |
Select "Set printer options". This opens the settings for the pdf |
| 34 |
printer. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
What is shown here is depending on your local setup (the possible |
| 37 |
settings are defined in a ppd file, which was selected during |
| 38 |
setup of the cups-pdf printer). |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Look for an option like "embed all fonts", and set it to "yes". |
| 41 |
Look for an option like "subset fonts", and set it to "no", check |
| 42 |
the licenses of the fonts which you use. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I'm not sure if it is necessary to restart the cups system, |
| 45 |
/etc/init.d/cupsd restart |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
This will result in bigger pdf files. The produced pdf files |
| 48 |
should contain all fonts, complete. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
If there are no such settings for the cups-pdf printer then try |
| 51 |
to create a new cups-pdf printer, and select "Postscript Color |
| 52 |
Printer" as ppd. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Hope this helps. I'm using the cups-pdf printer often to store |
| 55 |
web pages, and it's working pretty nice. |
