I am not 100% sure but I seem to recall someone telling me that pdfs
embed any fonts that are used, whereas ps files expect the fonts in
question to be on the machine that you look at the ps file with. This
could be a strong argument in favor of pdf files if you are sending the
files to others.
Does anyone know if that is correct or if I am remembering wrong?
