Package texlive-pkfix-helper
Make PostScript files accessible to pkfix
Pkfix is a useful utility for replacing resolution-dependent
 bitmapped fonts in a dvips-produced PostScript file with the
 corresponding resolution-independent vector fonts.
 Unfortunately, pkfix needs to parse certain PostScript comments
 that appear only in files produced by dvips versions later than
 5.58 (ca. 1996); it fails to work on PostScript files produced
 by older versions of dvips. Pkfix-helper is a program that
 attempts to insert newer-dvips comments into an older-dvips
 PostScript file, thereby making the file suitable for
 processing by pkfix. pkfix-helper can sometimes process
 documents fully autonomously but does require the user to
 verify and, if needed, correct its decisions.
