Package: dblatex
Version: 0.1.9-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

In dbk_hyper.sty, dblatex loads pslatex.sty.  First of all, this is a
strange file to do that, since pslatex.sty changes fonts and has nothing
to do with hyperref features.

But the real bug is that pslatex.sty is obsolete, see also
l2tabuen.pdf.  In the package it says:

,----[ pslatex.sty ]
| % This file consists of verbatim copies of times.sty and mathptm.sty
| % to get a basic times/helvetica/courier setup.
`----

And in psnfss2e.pdf, the main documentation for using PostScript fonts
under LaTeX, mathptm.sty is described:

,----[ 9.2 The package mathptm ]
| The package mathptm is a predecessor to mathptmx. In contrast to the
| latter and to LaTeX's standard behavior, lowercase Greek in math is
| typeset upright. Zapf Chancery is used as the calligraphic math
| alphabet, which causes some problems with proper spacing. mathptm needs
| the font cmex9, which may not be available in Type 1 format.
`----

This means that math symbols will look strange, spacing problems might
occur, and generated PDF files might contain Type3 fonts (pixel fonts)
which are not suited for screen display.

The package should load these packages instead:

\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[scaled=.90]{helvet}
\usepackage{courier}

By the way, with the wide textwidth you use, Times is not optimal (it
has been designed for newspapers with their very small columns).
Palatino (mathpazo.sty) might be better suited, although the document
will get a bit longer.


Here are some minor additional bugs:

- graphicx should not be loaded with option dvips.  This is not
  necessary, it will detect itself whether PDF or DVI output has been
  chosen.  The current setting will break if you try to create a PDF
  with pdfTeX from the same LaTeX source.

- Please do not use epsfig.  It has been obsolete for ages.  graphicx
  already provides all that is needed to include figures.

Regards, Frank
