PDFLatx problems.

[Carlos del Castillo]

Hello everybody, I'm using miktex 1.20 under Win NT. I'm making some
tex ocuments, and they work perfect under latex, but when using
pdflatex I have some problems.

I get some errors:
Warning: pdftex (file ecbi1200): Font ecbi1200 at 600 not found
Warning: pdftex (file ecbi1728): Font ecbi1728 at 600 not found
Warning: pdftex (file ectt1000): Font ectt1000 at 600 not found

My documents are trying to use t1enc fonts, because I'm from Mexico, so
I'm writing spanish. Do you know which font should I use, or how to fix
this problem??.

Thank you very much.

P.S. When converting dvi2ps, The font are not very nice, so If I
convert the ps ino a pdf does not look very well. Any ideas??

You need to use Type1 EC fonts.

While PdfTeX can use PK fonts, the results will not look very nice.
[this is likely what is happening with dvi2ps conversion.]

Type1 EC fonts are a standard part of the VTeX distribution, see

Bitmapped fonts look very ugly in PDF.
For use of CM fonts with T1 encoding (EC) you can try
packages 'ae' or 'zefonts'. They map the CM fonts
(available as Type1/PostScript) to T1 encoding.

They are available on CTAN of course:

CTAN:fonts/ae/
CTAN:fonts/zefonts/

Installing (texmf tree):
There are three (four) types of files:
a) *.tfm ==> texmf/fonts/tfm/public/{ae,zefonts}/
b) *.vf ==> texmf/fonts/vf/public/{ae,zefonts}/
c) TeX files (*.fd, *.sty, ...) ==>
texmf/tex/latex/{ae,zefonts}/
d) dvips stuff (slantcm.*) ==>
texmf/dvips/zefonts/

I don't know the specialities of miktex. But there is a mailing list
"miktex" at "majo...@dsts.dk".
