RE: Announcing gsftopk 1.7

On Mon, 8 Aug 1994 15:22:43 -0700, vojta@... (Paul Vojta)
posted the following note.  These files are now mirrored into the
fonts/utilities/gsftopk/ directory on the CTAN.

--George
===========================================================================
This is to announce the availability of Version 1.7 of gsftopk.
gsftopk is a package whose purpose is to allow use of PostScript<TM> fonts
with xdvi.  It consists of:

    1.	A program called gsftopk.c which creates pk font files for the
	PostScript fonts.  The bitmaps are obtained from ghostscript.
    2.	A script called xdvimakepk which is to be used in place of
	MakeTeXPK in xdvi.

The package requires the use of a dvips-style psfonts.map file.

The package is available via anonymous ftp from math.berkeley.edu
in the file pub/Software/TeX/gsftopk.tar.Z.  To upgrade from version
1.6 you may use pub/Software/TeX/gsftopk.patch7.Z instead.

gsftopk is also released as a subpackage of xdvi.  Version 1.7 of gsftopk
(or a later version) will be part of patchlevel 19 of xdvi.  Patchlevel 18
of xdvi includes only gsftopk 1.6.

Version 1.7 adds the ability to do subdirectory searching, using the same
// semantics as the web2c release of TeX, et. al.
