fontload – A partial font downloading utility

The tool scans a PostScript file, and re­places the em­bed­ded Adobe Type 1 fonts with ap­pro­pri­ately sub­set­ted ver­sions. The pro­cess of scan­ning the file is done us­ing a PostScript pro­gram ex­e­cut­ing in ghostscript.
The need for the tool has largely dis­ap­peared, for (La)TeX users, fol­low­ing the in­tro­duc­tion of the par­tial-down­load­ing ca­pa­bil­i­ties of cur­rent ver­sions of dvips.
