Bug#1029168: fonts-urw-base35: Apache pdfbox cannot load fonts. Complains "Start marker missing"

[James Cloos <cloos@jhcloos.com>]

having looked at one of those .t1 files now, i see that it is indeed a
new file format.

the plrm notes that eexec can handle either hex or binary data
transparently, and that is the only difference from traditional
pfa i can see.

so they saved some disk size and some memory pressure compared to pfa.

it should be possible these days to embed those files as is into a
postscript file, given that transmission is likely to be over ip or usb.
(unlike, say, rs232 with xon/xoff.)

software which expects pfa or pfb should learn to hadle these, too.

freetype has no problem with them.
