Embedding all fonts in Ubuntu
October 3, 2009
It took me a while to finally manage to embed all fonts for pdf using Linux commands alone. Most conferences and journals require all fonts to be embedded for manuscript preparation. By default, pdflatex in Ubuntu suppose to embed all fonts. One can also change the setting using updmap. But the problem comes from the eps figures. I tried epstopdf and a2ping but both of them somehow don’t work for my figures. I finally get success with ps2pdf14 as follows
ps2pdf14 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress fig.eps
However, the figure generated was not cropped correctly. Luckily, we can run
pdfcrop fig.pdf
The final figure file (fig-crop.pdf) should have all fonts embedded. One can check it with
pdffonts fig-crop.pdf
In my case, I got
