Converting embedded bitmap fonts in dvips output to outline fonts

["Nelson H. F. Beebe" <beebe@math.utah.edu>]

I just came across a pointer to http://www.emrg.com/texpdf.html on the
PDF list.  This document describes steps that can be taken to convert
PostScript files, output by dvips, with embedded bitmap fonts to
PostScript files with embedded outline fonts.

I don't expect that this merits further discussion on this list, but I
thought some of you might find it useful.  Certainly anyone with
legacy archives of PostScript files from dvips that need to be
converted to PDF should find this useful.
