Re: [tex-k] secure mode of dvips should be default

2001-06-06 Thread Werner LEMBERG


 For screen PDF of course. For multipurpose (i.e. either for screen
 and for printer, i.e. as a whole replacement of PK) like to BlueSky
 ones I don't think so.  Look for instance at a magnified o in CMR
 (see the attach) from differ.pdf.

I'll ask the author of TeXtrace whether this artefact is a problem of
resolution or a bug in the autotrace package.

have you looked at it, Giuseppe? Is there any reason why the patches
cannot be merged into the normal distribution?

It doesn't make sense to do that.  ptex is too special -- it isn't a
`dvips+CJK', it is a `dvips+Japanese' only, AFAIK.

[snip]
 While I have your ear, I have been looking for the most recent
 version of the old dviselect and dviconcat originally developed
 by Chris Torek at the University of Maryland.  If they have
 disappeared, as they seem to have, what takes their place?
 They are a lot more convenient than trying to muck around with
 postscript files directly.

The most recent I'm aware of is CTAN:dviware/dvibook.
