[Ipe-discuss] something wrong with the PDF file

[Carlos Davila]

Hello,

I recently installed Ipe, it's a great concept and if I can get it to 
work, it will make life much easier for me. I am currently using xfig 
which does not appear to have any latex-type functionality. 
Unfortunately, I have not been able to get latex to compile correctly. 
When I do a control-L I always get a dialog that says:

"There is something wrong with the PDF file generated by pdflatex. 
Please consult the stderr output to identify the problem."

It appears that the problem is with the pdflatex embedding a font type 
not supported by Ipe. When I run Ipe using the -debug option the output 
shown below appears on my Konsole. I am using KDE on Debian (sarge). All 
are fairly recent installations. I suppose I need to install the 
appropriate fonts for pdflatex that will also be compatible with 
Ipe...but what fonts are those? I would appreciate any suggestions on 
how to do this...I dont think I have a very good understanding of how 
TeTeX accesses fonts (updmap and such).

Thank you,
Carlos
