+
+ 1. It generates more compact code to download font into printer,
+ that reduces resulted file size and printer downloading time.
+ 2. Printer memory requirements is also slightly reduced.
+ 3. Ported to other platforms, such that it works now on
+ UNIX, MS-DOS, VMS.
+ 4. Improved control of the error situations.
+ 5. Added option '-p' that selects font set which is built in printer.
+ 6. Solved disadvantage with those fonts which have common
+ CharStrings (for example Univers fonts).
+ 7. Made the same font map for GhostScript and SubFont program.
+ 8. Tested with GhostScript 3.12,
+ that is able to apply partial font downloading to document
+ used Multiple Master fonts.
+ HOWEVER, gs 3.12 have a bugs, in thsi reason gs 2.6.1 using
+ is recomended.
+ 9. Man pages for 'fload' and 'subfont' are added.
