Re: [Cle-devel] [FWD] [ttf2pt1-devel] bug in dvips Re: new ttf2pt1 snapshots

["Edward G.J. Lee" <edt1023@ms17.hinet.net>]

  糟糕，bug 發出去才發覺自己使用的 dvips(k) 可能不是最新版的，但我
  在網路上硬是找不到最新版的。teTeX-1.0.7 所附的是 5.86 版的，是
  Karl Berry 改自 Tom Rokicki 的 dvips 而來的。
  
  結果 Tom Rokicki 來信說最新版的 dvips 已不用 t1part module，改用
  pdftex 的 writet1，不曉得有沒有人用過這個新的 dvips？不知道 writet1
  modules 對中文的處理情形如何？有沒有對這方面熟悉的朋友能提供資訊？

  謝謝！
