Re: [metafont] Epstopdf and Lucida fonts in labels


Hi Laurence F. and all,

I just wrote:

This is still true under classic PPC MacOS.  I have just tested
this with Laurence F.'s MP file called "3DLFmp.1".  It can be
parsed neither by Adobe Acrobat Distiller nor by Adobe
Illustrator until I remove the label and font material to
obtain "3DLFmp.1A". Then "3DLFmp.1A" is accepted by both
with good vectorial ".pdf" output. John Hobby's font handling
seems unacceptable to Adobe (?).

Curious fact:- "3DLFmp.1A" is not interpreted by Adobe Acrobat
Distiller as a 'well framed' eps file. On the other hand, output
files of MP with the setting 

   prologues:=2; %% Generate standard eps

(but without font stuff) are accepted. So I conjecture that
"3DLFmp.1" is NOT output by MP itself. Right?

When "3DLFmp.1A" is processed by Illustrator to
"3DLFmp.1A.eps" and then distilled to "3DLFmp.1A.pdf" the
result is 'well-framed', and I include it below in ".uu"
ASCII format.  Naturally, the "origin" label is missing.

Comments anyone?

Cheers

LS
