Group: v1.30.0 Status: Open Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Hartmut Henkel (hhenkel) Assigned to: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Summary: 512 zeros in Type1 fonts not copied anymore

Initial Comment: When embedding Type1 fonts in PDF files, it is not needed to copy the trailing 512 zeros; they are redundant. This has been suggested in the paper "Two Diet Plans for Fat PDF" by Thomas A. Phelps and Robert Wilensky. Reduces file size a little. Then /Length3 = 0, see Table 5.24 in the PDF Ref. v. 1.6. The tiny patch to writet1.c does this for pdfTeX. No change in the dvips portion. In the patch also the font matrix transform is streamlined by use of generic transform macros. Testing welcome.
