fig2ps 1.4.1 (Stable branch)
fig2ps is a script for converting xfig files to PS or PDF, processing text using LaTeX. It is intended to help typeset good quality documents, where the font on the pictures is exactly the same as the font in the text. The advantage it has over some other xfig exporters such as eepic is that you compile the picture only once and not every time you compile your LaTeX file, giving a great gain in speed with complex pictures. It should work with LyX. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This releases features the fixing of a whole bunch of old bugs, in particular the one that was resulting in fig2ps guessing the wrong bounding box with --bbox=gs (the default). The manual page was rewritten from scratch and is clearer now. Image

NAME

       pdffonts - Portable Document Format (PDF) font analyzer (version 3.00)

SYNOPSIS

       pdffonts [options] [PDF-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Pdffonts lists the fonts used in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file along with various information for each font.

       The following information is listed for each font:

       name   the font name, exactly as given in the PDF file (potentially including a subset prefix)

       type   the font type -- see below for details

       emb    "yes" if the font is embedded in the PDF file

       sub    "yes" if the font is a subset

       uni    "yes" if there is an explicit "ToUnicode" map in the PDF file (the absence of a ToUnicode map doesn't necessarily mean that the text
              can't be converted to Unicode)

       object ID
              the font dictionary object ID (number and generation)

       PDF files can contain the following types of fonts:

              Type 1
              Type 1C -- aka Compact Font Format (CFF)
              Type 3
              TrueType
              CID Type 0 -- 16-bit font with no specified type
              CID Type 0C -- 16-bit PostScript CFF font
              CID TrueType -- 16-bit TrueType font

              Specifies the first page to analyze.

       -l number
              Specifies the last page to analyze.

       -opw password
