Your summary is more or less accurate. We've never had much success coordinating with fillippov. I don't know if it's a language barrier, lack of interest, or what.
Fontforge is the preferred editing tool for these fonts and the solution is as you suggest. In addition, after the new fontset is written out, the metrics should be checked against the published Adobe sets to make sure they match properly. (And perhaps also checked against previous gs-fonts releases to make sure there are at least no regressions.) I think there are also some hinting problems that crept back into one of the releases. It's not so much that we're upstream from Valek or vice versa. Better to think of us as two different distributions. He releases more often, and we're more careful with the quality of the distributions we make for use with Ghostscript. Note that we have a resource problem getting all this done, which is the main reason it's years between releases. Help with the above steps and addressing the issues collected at http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=687297 Would be much appreciated. -r -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
