Embedding fonts in eps

Post by erafodo »

I need to convert an eps file containing unembedded fonts
to an eps file with all fonts embedded. I appreciate any
proposals on how to do it and which Tracker tool to use.

Hello erafodo,

I am afraid that our Products are not able to handle .eps files directly, so you will need to use some third party software (e.g. Adobe Illustrator) to open the .eps and embed the fonts in it, and you can then convert it to a PDF file (using either the built in conversion tool in AI, or our printing drivers) and then pdf viewing applications like our PDF-XChange Viewer should be able to open the resulting PDF file.

Best,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

Thank you indeed for this piece of info. Please note that
I need an .eps file (rather than a pdf) as the final output.
Maybe a Tracker SW can help me to easily create an .eps
(with all fonts embedded) from the pdf you just described ?

Thanks indeed.

Hi erafodo,

The only image formats our product range supports is the following:

BMP - Windows Bitmap
PNG - Portable Network Graphics
GIF - Compuserve Graphics Interchange Format
PBM - Portable Bitmap
PGM - Portable Graymap
PPM - Portable Pixel Map
JBIG2 - Joint Bi-level Imaging Group 2
JPEG - Joint Photographic Expert Group
JPEG2000 - JPEG 2000
JNG - JPEG Network Graphics
PCX - PC Paintbrush File Format
DCX - Multipage PCX
TGA - Truevision Targa
TIFF - Tag Image File Format
WBMP - Wireless Mono Bitmap

So unfortunately we cannot help you with your EPS requirements.

If we can help you further, please do get back to us.

Best,
Chris
