Hi David, if the printer didn't alter the file and the fonts were embedded in the original PDF document, they didn't vanished. The zip compression doesn't alter those things (AFAIK). A way to check whether the fonts are embedded or not, you can download ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-3.02pl2-dos6.zip (if you are using Windows) and run from the command-line pdffonts dissertation-filename.pdf Replace dissertation-filename.pdf with the actual file name and pdffonts will display all font information. If this is too complicated for you, send me the original file in a private reply and I will post the results. I hope it helps, Pablo ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
