I once knew it, but forgot :( Once it apparently worked with \usetypescriptfile[type-enc] \setupbodyfont[Times] but that was a while ago and seems to be broken when I tried it today. I use my own typescript file for the URW version of these (actually, there is GPLed Base35 version, which includes the 35 standard fonts and an AFPLed Base80(!) version, which includes quite some other standard fonts. Including Univers (which is nice, because it is the CI font of our university) and Optima clones. I can only praise them. Once I finish the typescript for the Base80 (I only have on for the Base40something), I can put it up on the web as well, if list members are interested. > 2. Does anyone know how pdfTeX can be instructed not to embed them? Yes, the LaTeX psnfss manual says that psnfss.map does not embed them. So I guess changing the corresponding lines in your pdftex.map, e.g. from: phvb8r Helvetica-Bold "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc to: hvb Helvetica-Bold " TeXnANSIEncoding ReEncodeFont " PS (Background): I am creating lots of small PDF documents where font > embedding would create prohibitive large documents. Well, try it and see if it is worth it. I for one surely would not want to see Arial on screen or paper when I intended it to be Helvetica. Greetings, Alex
