[bug #50989] Incorrect generation of typesetting.pdf

[Werner LEMBERG]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #50989 (project groff):

The specification of the PFB format is in Adobe Technical Note #5040:

http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/font/pdfs/5040.Download_Fonts.pdf

Note that there could theoretically be more than three chunks in a PFB (which
I've never seen).  Note also that what we call `PFA' today actually is *not*
what was originally defined in #5040 (and which I've never seen either). 
Instead, PFAs today are simply Type 1 PS resources with an ASCII eexec part.

And yes, supporting Type 1 PS resources with a binary eexec part (which is
what gs now distributes) would be good.
