Low resolution of PDF fonts

Post by vgi »

Hello!

Could anybody help me?

The following source file

Code: Select all

\documentclass[russian,english]{article}
\usepackage[cp1251]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
Capea --- Latin
\selectlanguage{russian}
Capea --- Latin
Сареа --- Кириллица
\end{document}
looks OK as dvi, but after transforming by dvipdfm.exe (MikTeX 2.9) to pdf format it looks as follows (click to see an enlarged version):

One can see thet resolution of the last two lines (after selecting Russian fonts) is much lower than in the first one. How can I fix it?

P.S. I do understand that sooner or later I could have found the answer in internet. The problem is that I must find it very quickly:( Any help is welcomed.

P.P.S. I am sure that in previous versions of MikTeX there was no such problem.

Low resolution of PDF fonts

Post by Stefan Kottwitz »

Hi Vladimir,

nice to see you again!

I think bitmap fonts are used, not scalable type 1 fonts. You could attach the PDF here, because it contains information about the used fonts.

Perhaps use this encoding:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
I would also verify that the cm-super package is installed.

Hi, Stefan!

I have attached the problem z.pdf.

Using \usepackage[T2A]{fontenc} makes things even worse - all letters turn to not scalable now (see z2.pdf).

How can I make sure that the cm-super package is installed? I see file cm-super.tpm
in directory %miktex%\tpm\packages\cm-super.tpm - is it enough?

Hey Vladimir. Were you able to solve your issue? I am having the same problem using the ccfonts package. Basically, the usual text is rendered with vector fonts, but the math fonts are rendered using bitmap fonts.
