Bug#132459: tetex-bin: dvips -Ppdf weirdness

[Remco van de Meent <remco@debian.org>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I just found out something weird with dvips:

When turning on the -Ppdf switch (pdf pseudo-printer), every instance of
'fi' in the TeX text (e.g. in 'traffic') gets replaced by the British Pound
sign in the resulting Postscript file. The DVI file is just fine.

I have no clue what might be causing this, but it is quite annoying as you
can imagine. Turned off the pdf optimilizations now :(

Thanks.

regards,
Remco.
