T1part: Printing T E X Documents with Partial Type 1 Fonts
Sergey Lesenko · 1995
A large fraction of the scientific papers available on the Internet have been created by TEX and dvips. Most of these papers use Computer Modern fonts at 300 dpi, and thus neither preview well with a typical screen resolution of less than 100 dpi, nor take advantage of the higher resolution of current laser printers. This paper presents T1part, a set of subroutines that decompose Type 1 PostScript fonts, including only those characters needed in a particular document. This package, in conjunction with a high-quality freely available set of Computer Modern fonts, can provide for the distribution of compact PostScript files that preview legibly and print beautifully. In addition, this package allows the printing of much more complex documents using more fonts than have previously been available in dvips. The T1part subroutines are modular and can be easily incorporated into other drivers.
