I have run into a problem trying to use Mathematica type1 fonts in pdfLaTeX.
My platform is Windows 98, and I am using Mathematica 4.1 as well as MikTeX,
version 2.0, update 1. I have copied all the relevant .map, .tfm, .vf, .fd,
and .sty files from the folder C:\Program Files\Wolfram
Research\Mathematica\4.1\SystemFiles\IncludeFiles\TeX into corresponding
positions in my C:\localtexmf folder. In addition, I have copied the
contents of the AFM and Type1 folders in
C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\4.1\SystemFiles\Fonts into
folders
"..\afm\wolfram" and "..\type1 under C:\localtexmf\fonts.
Consider the following test document:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{wrisym}
\begin{document}
$\alpha$
\end{document}
If I send it through LaTeX->dvips, I produce a PS file with the <Math1.pfa>
font embedded and which can be viewed in GSView. However, if I run the
document through pdfLaTex, right after the display seems to indicate
embedding of the <Math1.pfa>, I get a system error:
Pdflatex:
This program has performed an illegal operation (etc.)...
PDFLATEX caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at
015f:bff7a379.
Incidentally, my pdftex.cfg file is
output_format 1
compress_level 9
decimal_digits 3
page_width 210mm
page_height 297mm
horigin 1in
vorigin 1in
map pdftex.map
map +txr1.map
map +wolfram.map
I don't think my general pdftex setup is at fault, for if I change "wrisym"
in the above test document to "txfonts", pdfLaTeX compiles it just fine,
embedding the corresponding font <rtxmi.pfb> and producing an output file
viewable in Acrobat
Reader. And, imagining there might be a pfa-pfb problem, I changed all
references to .pfa files to .pfb files in wolfram.map. This still produced
an error when run through pdfLaTeX after (apparently) embedding <Math1.pfb>.
Can anyone see if I am doing something wrong? I would certainly appreciate
any help. Thanks.
