CTAN update – pkfix 1.1
Date: January 29, 2005 5:01:08 PM CET
On Fri, 28 Jan 2005, Heiko Oberdiek submitted version 1.1 of his pkfix
package.
License is LPPL.
Location on CTAN: support/pkfix/
Short description of pkfix:
Some PostScript files with bitmapped fonts contain
comments, added by dvips. Then pkfix tries to find
the type 1 versions of the font and replaces them.
Changes of v1.1:
* Bug fix: embedded encodings are now detected and used.
* The temporary dvi files are now written directly. Thus
pkfix does not depend on TeX (but on dvips) and runs
faster.
Thanks for the update, I installed it.

pkfix – Replace pk fonts in PostScript with Type 1 fonts
The perl script pkfix looks for DVIPSBitmapFont comments in PostScript files, generated by ‘not too old’ dvips, and replaces them by type 1 versions of the fonts, if possible.
