[OS X TeX] Re: MacOSX-TeX Digest, Vol 50, Issue 14

[Murray Eisenberg]

OK, I found the PDFFonts binary and moved it to ~/Library/TeXShop/bin. 
Thanks for that help.

It still took some stumbling about after that to get the macro to run 
from TeXShop. The TeXShop doc page "Macros Help > Preliminaries" says:

    "To add macros created by others to your list of macros, open the
     Macro Editor and choose "Add macros from file..."...

But in the TeXShop Macro Editor, I saw no such item "Add macros from 
file...".  Is that for an older version of TeXShop (or the newest, 
Lion-only version)? In version , which I'm using under Snow Leopard, I 
finally figured out to use the "New Item" button. Then, rather than 
being able just to cite the Applescript file to use, I had to open the 
script in the Applescript editor (I presume any text editor would do, 
too) and then copy the script and paste it into the TeXShop Macro 
Editor's "Content" field, then Save it.

Now -- after restarting TeXShop -- I can get get the macro to run for 
the file currently in TeXShop. But I don't see any information about 
embedding of fonts -- just a list of fonts used.

Or is there some setting in TeXShop to specify that fonts should be 
embedded (and whether to use subset embedding)?

P.S. In the old Y&Y TeX previewer DViWindo, it was possible to get a 
list of fonts in the viewed file and to have each font given a 
particular color throughout the document. Is such a thing possible with 
TeXShop/MacTeX?
