Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
pkfix-helper
package.
Version number: 1.6
License type: lppl
Summary description: Make PostScript files accessible to pkfix
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pkfix is a useful utility for replacing resolution-dependent bitmapped fonts in
a
dvips-produced PostScript file with the corresponding resolution-independent
vector
fonts. Unfortunately, pkfix needs to parse certain PostScript comments that
appear only
in files produced by dvips versions later than 5.58 (ca. 1996); it fails to
work on
PostScript files produced by older versions of dvips.
pkfix-helper is a program that attempts to insert newer-dvips comments into an
older-dvips PostScript file, thereby making the file suitable for processing by
pkfix.
pkfix-helper can sometimes process documents fully autonomously but does
require the user
to verify and, if needed, correct its decisions.
Version 1.6 includes a large number of improved diagnostic messages and
documentation
clarifications. The font samples generated with the --tex option are now
annotated to
indicate any fonts the user asked to be left unmodified and any font mappings
forced
explicitly by the user. Thanks to Werner Lemberg and Markus Thom for their
suggestions
on improving pkfix-helper.
