missing maths with PDF import

Postby gballan » Fri Sep 09, 2011 5:30 am

Hello All

Importing a (pdflatex generated) PDF, the output looks fine -- except that a pair of large brackets are missing from a formula.

Following [1] I tried "pstoedit -f plot-svg test.pdf test.svg", and the issue appears to be a couple of warnings like: "unable to map [c2] glyph name parenleftbigg encoded as 18 - using the PostScript code value instead."

I tried first converting to postscript (pdftops test.pdf), and the postscript looks fine (i.e., includes the brackets). The ps file itself mentions "parenleftbigg". Applying pstoedit to the postscript removes the brackets, with a similar error as above.

I am on Ubuntu 11.04 using Inkscape 0.48.1 r9760 and pstoedit 3.50.

Is the answer to change the fonts in pdflatex? Or, am I missing some kind of mapping for parenleftbigg?

Greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Edit: I should have mentioned that I prefer not to use pstoedit's -dt or -adt switches -- to keep the file as small as possible,

Thanks

Gary

I was off track with pstoedit. Following https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape/+question/170724 I was directed to this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/742364 .
