Re: Missing fonts in .pdf file

[Gilbert van den Dobbelsteen <gilbert@panter.soci.aau.dk>]

Well, it took some time, but the prepress guy called,, and guess what: They
found a bug in their setup of acrobat, so I now have a copy proof of the
work, and it looks great!

In the end only one page was wrong (only pictures, no fonts). This was made
using latex -> dvips -> Distiller. Since it was a standard distribution
dvips made all the fonts and included them as type3. That was too much for
the prepress guys. So I got the original latex document, and I converted the
thing to context. After that things were easy (as you all know).

So many thanks for all reactions and help.

I meant a page-re-shuffler and organizer.
