[pdftex] RE: Patch for better perfomrance etc.

[John Culleton]

I have just been doing some work with the pdftex version of the psfonts.map 
file. It seems to me that most of the fonts listed in there are not of use to 
many of us. So the quickest way to speed up searches is to save the original
in psfonts.sav and then edit a working copy to remove all unlikely fonts. For 
me for example the entire Omega font area can be removed, also the Literateur 
fonts and the xy fonts. Many of the fonts listed don't function without 
further work, and some like Lucida Bright aren't even part of the TeX distro. 

Each person will of course have a different ``work'' psfonts.map file. This 
file when printed out becomes an index to what is available. 

When I finish my editing I will post the resultant size.
