Bug#394028: texlive-base-bin: pdflatex reports 'unknown verssion of OS/2 table (0003)' with recent OpenType/TrueType fonts

[Chris Lawrence <lawrencc@debian.org>]

Package: texlive-base-bin
Version: 2005.dfsg.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

See http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=592&group_id=106

This problem is known and fixed upstream in the 1.40 beta series of
pdftex, but it would be nice to have this small fix in etch (if
possible); see towards the bottom of the report, where it appears it
is simply a case of too-strict checking for the OS/2 table version in
line 1026 of writettf.c.
