| sebras | Robin_Watts: that 1+ceil(x/64) are for the newlines, right? | 08:31.50 |
| | Robin_Watts: if so you patch looks good to me. | 08:31.57 |
| Robin_Watts | sebras: Yes. | 11:08.44 |
| | Thanks. | 11:08.54 |
| halabund | Is it possible to use GhostScript to outline all fonts in a PDF document? I would like to convert all glyphs to simple curves. | 18:22.10 |
| | My use case is similar to what LaTeXit! does. I believe LaTeXit uses GhostScript for outlining too (??) | 18:22.37 |
| | I was looking through the options at http://ghostscript.com/doc/current/Ps2pdf.htm but didnât find the right one yet | 18:23.21 |
| | Is GhostScript capable of doing this at all, without round-tripping the document through PostScript? | 18:41.18 |
| | Can anyone help with this? â> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28797418/outline-all-fonts-in-a-pdf | 19:41.10 |
| pipitas | halabund: Use the parameter '-dNoOutputFonts'. This will convert all glpyhs to outline shapes. It is available since Ghostscript 9.15 (the latest released GS version). For older versions of Ghostscript, use the method described here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/10082612/359307 or here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/10775217/359307 | 19:43.26 |
| halabund | pipitas: Great! It works well. I needed to upgrade from 9.10 to 9.15. | 19:48.27 |
| | pipitas: Thanks to this now I can use LaTeX-generated labels in Mathematica figures :-) https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0avu9y3nwvqg07/Screenshot%202015-03-01%2014.59.11.png?dl=0 | 19:59.54 |
| | It was the last missing piece. | 20:00.02 |
| pipitas | Good then :-) | 20:06.16 |
| halabund | pipitas: I used the following convoluted command line, modelled after one of the scripts that come with Ghostscript: -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dNoOutputFonts -sOutputFile=output.pdf -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -c save pop -f input.pdf So then most of this can be simply replaced with -o output.pdf ? | 20:09.53 |
| | As you wrote in your StackOverflow answer. | 20:10.08 |
| pipitas | halabund: Yes, '-o out.pdf' is a shortcut for '-sOutputFile=output.pdf -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE'. This is true for recent versions of Ghostscript (sorry, cannot name the specific one). Older versions do not yet know about '-o â¦'. But they will complain if you try :-) | 20:44.05 |
| kens | For the record; "-c save pop -f" is also entirely unnecessary. | 21:14.54 |
