Miktex install epstopdf

From the gs 1 man page:. Please, do not get me wrong. You are the maintainer and owner, and you will decide what to do. I am just afraid that some other peers will experience the same issue and start digging from scratch not knowing that issue has been discussed already.

I started to investigate it April because I could not believed "it works on my system but not on theirs". Hopefully someone else will see this issue Open , and eventually help on it one day, with some proper? You should note: by default Ghostscript does not embed standard fonts like Courier-Bold.

That said, its totally fine that Courier-Bold is not embedded. My comment there dates back in May when only was being discussed; just neglect the part about bit vs bit.

I am in favor of embedding and probably not the only one? MiKTeX exposes them, and aliases are defined in Fontmap. As example, for Courier-Bold we have two fonts defined in Fontmap. MiKTeX :. I agree that the behaviour should be consistent. We can force font embedding by specifying EmbedAllFonts-true.

I will create a version epstopdf version which does so. In a shared installation you could have multiple Fontmap files. You can check this as follows:. I suspected that Windows' Courier fonts are the root cause. From now on, my Win10 VMs do not have any system Courier fonts. I got some other subset prefixes but the same different outputs pixel-wise.

Motivated by " ucrb8a. Conclusion: installation for "all users" definitely uses ucrb8a. I cannot find any other Courier resource. Could it be that it is available in mgs 's DLL file? Upon installations, some updates were available - including miktex-epstopdf-bin I installed them, refreshed file name database and font map files on both systems. Renaming ucrb8a. Please note: mgs. Looking forward to testing. Yes, I assume so. The per-user installation has non-existing directories in the search path.

Maybe Ghostscript 9. I tested the behavior in Ubuntu on both installation types with the latest updates. Would it be possible to make epstopdf behave consistently regardless of the underlying OS:. Ah, sorry. I should have recognized that fix is not available yet since there are no new arguments here:. However, I noticed that epstopdf embeds the font even if I uninstall courier package. I could not find obvious differences between two outputs as before while we had embedding issues , except the subset prefixes - suggesting that different font resources were used.

Standalone Ghostscript 9. It probably used its own resources after I uninstalled courier - I will try to confirm that. I tried to trace which font resources were used - no success. I leave this information here for someone else keen to investigate, or for the future occasions if some other issues happen. I am in an urgent need to get some document compiled on a brand new installation of MikTeX on a new computer - and sure with Murphy behind my back, exactly this problem kicked me in the behind and I do not get wiser from the long discussion above Viewed 15k times.

I am using MiKTeX 2. Improve this question. Community Bot 1. Michael Witt Michael Witt 1 1 gold badge 1 1 silver badge 6 6 bronze badges. Welcome to TeX. You can have a look at our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format. You probably don't need to include epstopdf and may be better off leaving graphicx to work things out, if so. Can you convert the files outside TeX? Or does that fail as well?

I also believe it to be a problem with epstopdf. Also, I don't know how to convert the files outside of using the epstopdf package, although I can open up the file in an EPS viewer, and it does contain the right graphic. The latest version of GhostScript is 9. You might try converting with epspdf-extra , which is the windows version of epspdf and can be found here.

Recent versions of graphicx handle EPS files correctly regardless. With a recent installation, you don't need to load epstopdf. That's the reason, why I have divided the package into a user package epstopdf and an more internal package epstopdf-base without options.

This avoids LaTeX's option clash errors. Show 3 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. GUI As Bernard pointed out, the epspdf-extra bundle is one possible choice. Examples of usage with file abc. Improve this answer. I think the problem ultimately boils down to a big flaw in MiKTeX 2. Add a comment. In that case, you can make pdflatex use the PDF file directly by prioritizing. The eps converted to pdf file was blank. But I want to work only with eps figures!

Motivated by this issue and Andrey's expectations. I was wondering whether it would be possible from MiKTeX to alert on missing packages in "install missing packages on-the-fly" fashion. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:. Hi edocevoli. Find all font associations in Fontmap. MiKTeX for previously detected font. MiKTeX might contain some non-unique associations, hence all should be considered.

If the font in EPS is rare, or it does not have any association in Fontmap. MiKTeX , stop here "nothing can be done", "submit an issue" etc. If "Always install missing packages on-the-fly" or "Ask me" are set, for each font association found in 2. Eventually, this might not help due to incorrect association in Fontmap. Sorry, something went wrong. MikTex has a wrong version of Ghostscript which produces errors by not recognizing fonts.

For example, it writes:. No output PDF file written. Sorry, but xelatex did not succeed. This error does not occur with this figure for a different version of Ghostscript. Please explain how I can change the version of Ghostscript which is used with MikTex.

This issue is about epstopdf , not about xdvipdfmx which is your case. But 9.
