Ah, I'm saving this list ;-)
There is also an extended set (also mapped to URW fonts by Ghostscript) called base 35. In addition, these fonts are includes: ,----[ Additions to Base 14 to Make Base 35 ] | 15. AvantGarde-Book | 16. AvantGarde-BookOblique | 17. AvantGarde-Demi | 18. AvantGarde-DemiOblique | 19. Bookman-Demi | 20. Bookman-DemiItalic | 21. Bookman-Light | 22. Bookman-LightItalic | 23. Helvetica-Narrow | 24. Helvetica-Narrow-Bold | 25. Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique | 26. Helvetica-Narrow-Oblique | 27. NewCenturySchlbk-Bold | 28. NewCenturySchlbk-BoldItalic | 29. NewCenturySchlbk-Italic | 30. NewCenturySchlbk-Roman | 31. Palatino-Bold | 32. Palatino-BoldItalic | 33. Palatino-Italic | 34. Palatino-Roman | 35. ZapfChancery-MediumItalic `---- These are some times referred to as the "35 classical postscript fonts".
I think they are still 4 fonts, with the bold and italic variations. Let's check:
No, they are 4 typefaces: ,----[ From the Wikipedia Article on Typeface ] | One still valid distinction between font and typeface is that a font may | designate a specific member of a type family such as roman, bold or | italic type, possibly in a particular size, while typeface designates a | visual appearance or style, possibly of a related set of fonts. For | example, a given typeface such as Arial may include roman, bold, and | italic fonts. `---- With high qualilty typefaces each font in the family is hand crafted for optimal visual appearance. This is why high end desktop publishing systems (including Scribus) does not have the ability to generate those fake bold, italic, etc, fonts commonly seen in wordprocessors. You need to use seperate fonts.
Do you know if there is someway to remove the embedded font from a pdf file and map the font?
I don't have a file using those fonts handy so I can't test it out. If you don't care about advanced features, you might be able to do it by comvertiong it to a ps file and run ps2ps against it. Charles
