[NTG-pdftex] Re: Question on 1.20b-rc0 font replacement

[The Thanh Han]

Hi,

thanks to Hartmut for discovering the bizard case. There is some test in
pdftoepdf.cc, so the font is still copied. But lookup_ps_fontmap when
found a matched entry also created a new internal font, so the font is
still embedded (but is not used anywhere).

Here is the new mapfile.c

Regards,
Thanh
