Following a recent upgrade, latex documents using courier.sty are not
handled properly upon conversion to .ps or .pdf. Here is a minimal test
case:
% test.tex -- test case for dvips Courier bug
\documentclass[10pt,notitlepage]{article}
\usepackage{courier}
\begin{document}
This is Computer Modern. {\tt This is messed-up Courier.}
\end{document}
% end test case
After running latex on test.tex, the dvi output looks good. If I
convert to postscript with
$ dvips -d 4 -Ppdf -G0 -tletterSize dvips -d 4 -Ppdf -G0 -tletterSize test.dvi
then I get this output:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The resulting test.ps has a Courier font that looks to be about 14pt (or
at least significantly larger than the Computer Modern).
If I further convert to pdf using
$ ps2pdf13 test.ps
then the resulting test.pdf has roughly 14pt Courier characters that are
not properly spaced. It looks as if the spacing might be correct for
the original 10pt font. pdffonts reports:

------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- ---------
PFMHAB+Courier Type 1C yes yes no 13 0
YKVHLY+CMR10 Type 1C yes yes no 10 0
There is no change if I perform the conversion to pdf using dvipdf.
If I create the pdf using dvipdfm or pdflatex, the Courier font is
spaced properly but is still too large. pdffonts now reports the
Courier font as:

Well, wrong place, yes. But it would really not have been easy to find
the "guilty" package without prior knowledge of the bug in gsfonts...
I'm closing this bug.
