Problem using Direct PDF and EPS using non standard fonts

Hi,

we try to use the direct PDF feature with the Arbortext Editor 5.4 M140
and Print Publisher (client side).

Some EPS graphics are using non standard fonts.

These fonts are not embedded inside the PDF-File and are replaced by the
Courier font.
When using the distiller instead of direct PDF no problem occur.

Listing these fonts under the <embedalways> element in PDFCF-file has no
effect.

So I searched the Customization Guide and found the Procedure
"Adding Fonts Used By Graphics" -> "To add TTF fonts"

When I start the command: instfonts TTFINSTALL ... I get the message
that the file pstilldll.dll
is missing.

I have looked into intro different AE installations, pstill directory
contain never a "pstilldll.dll"
I tried nevertheless the repair function of the installer, with no effect.
So I don`t expect an installation problem.

Has anybody out there got knowledge about this feature/problem?

Kind regards

    When you use Distiller do you still go through the step of creating a Postscript file first or are you selecting ‘Adobe PDF’ in the Print… dialogue window?

    If you do create the intermediate Postscript file, what do you use to generate the Postscript output?

    This is all done programmatically via the Windows command line.
    Such as :
    "C:\Program Files\PTC\Arbortext Editor\bin\x86\editor.exe" -newinstance -b -c "set tableminimumrowheight= 17.5pt; set deepcontentsplitting = off; set overlaypagenumbers=off; print allpasses force wait printer='Adobe PDF' file='C:\Documents and Settings\elbenton\My Documents\Vulcan\Output\BUG_2737_Chapter_2.ps';" "C:\Documents and Settings\elbenton\My Documents\Vulcan\Output\BUG_2737_Chapter_2.xml"
