How to produce PDF files with all fonts embedded and subset
(latex + dvips + ps2pdf)

latex mypaper.tex
dvips -Ppdf -G0 -ta4 mypaper.dvi -o mypaper.ps
ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true -sPAPERSIZE=a4 mypaper.ps

(Quoted from http://ismir2005.ismir.net/pdf.html)

To verify that all went fine type:

pdffonts mypaper.pdf

The output should look like

caton:~/recherche/harq> pdffonts sbliudze.pdf

The columns emb (embedded) and sub (subset) should have yes for all fonts listed.

Miscellaneous

• My favourite bar in Paris: the place is called BUBAR and opens at 7pm at 3, rue des Tournelles (just off place de la Bastille). It's a wine bar specialising in foreign (non-French) wines. Panegyrics available on request ... And no, there is no website!
• Another one: Café Banal — 11 o'clock (am) untill midnight (closed on week-ends) at 39, bld de Port-Royal in the 13th district. The local speciality is the price - 1.50 euro for anything except the steak, which will cost you 7.50.
• A Corsican restaurant recommended by a painter met at Bubar: Auberge Chez Rosito — 4, rue du Pas de la Mule (next to place des Vosges). The food is delicious homemade style; mostly meat, although you do get a couple of non-meat dishes. A little bit expensive to my standards (8–15 euros a starter, 15–20 euros for main course).

There might be more one day ...
