Re: Epstopdf and Lucida fonts in labels

Hi Laurence F.

It seems to me that your reply does not address the issue of
robust font integration.  But rather the issue of getting a
well-framed "eps" file.

Inversely, my reply addressed the font issue and neglected the well
well-framed and structured "eps" issue.

Together we have hopefully indicated all Maurizio needs.

Incidentally, I favor using TeX label overlays rather than the
MP label mechanism because they apply uniformly to all sorts
of graphics from all sorts of sources. I use more bitmapped
graphics than vectorial. Furthermore, the font storage for TeX
label overlays is optimally efficient; it is often attrocious
when labels are included in autonomous figure files.

PS. Thanks for the specifics on the dvips "papersize" \special
and the -i option.

PPS. The issue of well-framed and well-structured "eps" files
can be otherwise resolved by opening (fontless) MP output
files into Adobe Illustrator and resaving in a suitable format
(".pdf" included!!).  Last time I checked, this workaround
failed on MP labels.
