Package: tetex-bin Version: 2.0.2-26 Followup-For: Bug #293179 i use the courier font a lot to typeset linux shellcode, but in the debian testing the backticks appear wrongly in the output. pdflatex got it all right, but dvips messed them up.
So I compared the strace of both and found that the line concerning pcrr8 fonts is slightly different: diff /var/lib/texmf/dvips/config/pdftex.map /var/lib/texmf/dvips/base/psfonts.map | grep pcrr So I patched the psfonts.map file and changed the line: ---- pcrr8rn Courier " .85 ExtendFont TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc ---- to --- pcrr8rn " .85 ExtendFont TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc <ucrr8a.pfb --- And it worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well............... At least half of it. ******************************************** As of now, I tried it on the intel machine: dvips worked this time, but ps2pdf had the same problem as before. I don't figure out the difference between the two versions, (I use sarge on powerpc and the production system is sarge on i386), whereas on the powerpc machine both work.
