I recently wanted do insert a formula into a Adobe Illustrator figure. Since I didn’t find a way to do so directly in Illustrator and copying a formula from MS Word didn’t work properly, I wanted to copy the formula from a latex generated pdf (or ps) file. This, however, didn’t work either, as some latex fonts (CMR8, ect.) were missing. There’s probably a way to include them while generating the pdf file. But the easiest way I found was to copy all type 1 font files from my latex distributionC:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.8\fonts\type1\public\amsfonts\cmto the windows font directory C:\Windows\Fonts. That worked. Yay.
