[comp.lang.postscript] differences in new .afm files

dberry@lanai.cs.ucla.edu (09/15/88)

In helping my orgainization to bring up transcript 2.1(?), I was comparing
the ditroff width tables generated by afmdit using the new .afms with those
generated from the old .afms. I noticed that there are significant
width chagnes for the numbersign, the currency, the yen, and the florin
characters. When I printed a sample involving these characters using the
old widths, the spacing looked just fine to me. Does anyone know the reason
for the change? 
Thanks
Dan
