Re: dvipdfm, type 3 fonts included

Hi,

please find attached a minimal example. As you can see, all fonts are
in type 3. I know the cm-super package, I used it about ten years ago.
But on my older installation (from August 2012) it has not been
installed either and nevertheless everything is fine with the fonts.
So there must be some other reason. Might it be a bug in the 64 bit
version?

I remember that another way was possible before: dvi -> ps -> pdf.
When I try dvips with the option -Ppdf (I remember something like
that), there are lots of errors (confer attached file
dvips_output.txt). Perhaps this helps.

Cheers, Olaf
