-Yet another option is Frank Siegert&rsquo;s (shareware)
+<p/>If your source file is older than <i>pkfix</i> can deal with,
+there&rsquo;s still a modicum of hope: <i>pkfix-helper</i> examines the
+bitmap fonts in a document, compares them with the metric
+(<code>.tfm</code>) fonts on your system and comes to a view of which
+font might be which. The program reports on &ldquo;poor&rdquo; matches, and
+there are options for confirming, or replacing, its guesses. The
+technique (which sounds implausible) is successful enough to be worth
+a try.
+<p/>A further option is Frank Siegert&rsquo;s (shareware)
<a href="http://www.pstill.com">PStill</a>, which is capable of processing
the PostScript it is distilling, and one option is to replace bitmap fonts
in the file with Type 1 versions.
