My idea was to enable specifying scalable PK fonts with call \pdfmapline{cmr10} as is already written in pdftex documentation. This should be IIRC very simple and I can prepare patch for it.
But if such support as written in pdftex documentation is not something which should be enabled in pdftex, then removing those parts from documentation should be done.
So pdftex maintainers/developers should decide for one those steps.
Hi Karl! I found out that support for those scalable PK fonts broke in pdfTeX version 1.40.0 by svn revision number 77. Looks like version before they worked... And as patch is really simple and small for enabling scalable PK fonts, I'm sending it in attachment. There is just too strict check in check_fm_entry() and one missing check for NULL dereference. Patch was generated against svn://tug.org/pdftex/branches/stable revision 775. -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar@gmail.com
