Hi, is it possible to say Metapost witch version of PDF I want to use? Therion generates a PDF 1.5. But if I insert that PDF in a publication developed with e.g. Adobe Indesign, the spezial german characters Ä, Ö, Ü are not written in the right way. With PDF-Version 1.3 it is all right. Clearly, it is no problem to convert it with a tool, but it would be easier to get it directly from Therion. Regards Markus Boldt
Hi,
is it possible to say Metapost witch version of PDF I want to use?
theoretically yes, but you should not specify lower version than therion chooses (1.4 is required by PDF specification if you use transparency (this is the default value in therion), 1.5 if you use layers).

Recent versions of therion include unicode mapping information in pdf files, so there should be no conversion problems for unicode-aware applications (provided you have the same font available in both apps, tested in Inkscape). If you are using latest therion, please post the file 'therion.log', otherwise try upgrading. Martin
Thank You, Martin, for the fast answer. So, it seems me, that it should be the bettest way to convert the PDF to a high resolution jpeg. Because in this case I use layers. And additionally there is a problem with the fonts provided by Indesign. Because I cannot see (in the PDF-File opened by an Editor) an information about the fonts which are used for making the "cave-PDF". Or is it csss10.pf in this case (see Therion.log)?

You might try to use system OpenType or TrueType fonts (which are recognized by Indesign) in therion (set 'pdf-fonts' and 'otf2pfb' options in therion.ini; see Appendix in thbook for explanation). This could solve the font incompatibility. therion.log -- unicode mapping works in your setup. Martin
