The main goal is to be able to view PostScript fonts +in xdvi. + +The current version fixes a couple minor bugs (seg fault when running +without arguments, and inability to handle .pfb files). + +To upgrade, you can either: + + 1. get the whole package again: + + CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk.tar.gz + + or + + 2. apply the following patch to version 1.7: + + CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk.patch8.gz + +These files are also available in Unix compress format from math.berkeley.edu +in the directory pub/Software/TeX. + +Users of gs 3.x should note that, although this patch fixes a bug regarding +.pfb files, there still are some bugs in gs 3.1.2 affecting .pfb files. + +- --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu + +------------------------------ + +Date: Mon, 23 Jan 1995 14:41:19 +0100 +From: KNAPPEN@VKPMZD.kph.Uni-Mainz.DE +Subject: Immediate bug fixes to Sauter-2.3 + +I did two immediate bug fixes to the Sauter-2.3 distribution, namely the +files b-cmcsc.mf and sautmath.fd were replaced. + +The Sauter-2.3 package can be found on the CTAN archives in +tex-archive/fonts/cm/sauter23/... + +Thanks to the people who reported the bugs. + +- --J"org Knappen. + +------------------------------ +About TeXhax... + +Please send contributions to: TeXhax@tex.ac.uk + +Subscription and unsubscription requests: + send a one line mail message to TeXhax-request@tex.ac.uk + containing either subscribe texhax + or unsubscribe texhax + +To obtain the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) lists for TeX, send a +message with no subject to fileserv@shsu.edu, consisting of +SENDME FAQ + +For information on the TeX Users Group, please send a message to +TUG@TUG.org, or write TeX Users Group, P.O.
