Bug#143147: dvips uses type 3 fonts by default
Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0.2+20011202
Severity: wishlist
By default updmap uses type 3 fonts. xpdf (and probably others) can
only deal with type 1 fonts. Therefore, it would be more appropriate
for updmap to default to type 1 fonts. I have confirmed that this change
makes dvips output compatible with xpdf. I suggest the following patch:
