There is another version 3.02 without search that does not make a change (and calls itself v. 3.01 during installation).

This site has definitely other kinds of documentation: the source code documentation files I was talking about are not in any .zip file. Most of these *.pdf's that are ok to me (though it shows that there is no JavaScript interpreter in my reader), but e.g. ms-co-nl.pdf is broken. It has lines as "/BaseFont /GPFLKA+CMR10", what does GPFLKA+ mean? Are there any differences between m?-co* and m?-cb* ? > Third point that may be of interest: if you want to tell the Reader to > use platform fonts, chances are pretty high that they have to be PFA > format instead of PFB format.

Now I have a lot of nice .pfa files. A very neat idea to generate as my X server now can display them. Anyway, acroread is unaffected :(. -- Karsten Tinnefeld Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much.
