We have this version of dvips and its associated afm2tfm and PS afms. It seems that afm2tfm doesn't know about italic fonts, and maps `dollar' into where `pound' should be in italic. This is unfortunate for us brits. I can probably fix it by understanding the Adobe encoding and editing the vpl file, but I'd rather have an afm2tfm which did the right thing. If I get a newer dvips (what's the current one anyway?), will it have fixed this? Has anyone else fixed it some other way? Am I completely misdiagnosing the problem (it *could* be with the NFSS but I don't think so (the dvi file looks like it's got the right thing in it). --tim
