[OS X TeX] Re: Turning eps to pdf problems

[Peder Axensten]

I'm just guessing, but maybe Preview and PStill have access to the  
(vector) fonts in /Library/Fonts and can include them as outlines  
whereas GhostScript based utilities have not? Maybe Sibelius includes  
only bitmapped fonts, then GhostScript has nothing else available --  
but Preview has?

It would be interesting to hear the comment of someone more  
knowledgeable... What fonts does GhostScript "see"?
