I'm having issues trying to convert pdfs to jpg -- and even just using the identify command on these pdfs.

Using Ghostscript 8.50 with Imagemagick 6.2.5 on linux.

Does every single font used in a pdf need to be on your system if it's not embedded in the pdf itself? I was under the impression it should just substitute fonts if they are missing, but obviously something is wrong. Is there a way i can get past any missing fonts just to convert and identify pdfs? I know this pdf uses fonts from the Arial family which is not listed on my system in the type-ghostscript.xml file.

But ArialMT is not embedded.

your help is appreciated, thank you.

P.S. If I run GS on the file I get the following - which looks like it's trying to substitute but cant?

my gs -h shows and that is not where the fonts are

Code: Select all

Search path:
   . : /usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.50/lib :
   /usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.50/Resource :
   /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts

but they are in:

/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1

so how can i change ghostscript to look there?

We converted your image without complaint. We're using ImageMagick 6.5.0-8 and Ghostscript 8.64.

hrm ok thanks i guess i'll have to try an upgrade.

I do know that the problem seems to stem from a pdf with fonts embedded (converts fine) versus one without (does not convert).

thanks.
