That's 95% of the story, but I think with a small addendum. e.g. If the .tex file uses only cmr10 but fig.1 file uses cmsy7 for a subscript, dvips will handle it correctly and download cmsy7 into the .ps file. So it's not only that the fonts are defined in the .ps file, but that dvips knows how to handle the inclusion correctly when the font is listed in a fig.1 embedded by plain TeX. > For debian, the procedure for changing updmap.cnf has been debianized, > but it is mentioned in the README for the lmodern package Thanks, I didn't know about that. The directions are easy enough to do, esp. on an Ubuntu system. Though I prefer to use the vanilla system, so that I can test the distributions to see what works and breaks, and try to get the upstream folks to fix it. Although, I'm not sure who is the relevant upstream here. Mojca (off-list) suggested trying an older ConText and I'll try that. Meanwhile I'll put the 'dvips -Ppdf' workaround into my Makefiles. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R. Tolkien)
