Description leonardo 2006-09-07 05:14:08 UTC

When embedding a small AndaleMonoWTG font subset, pdfwrite generates True Type 
data of 921K size. Likely we should filter 'post', and possibly should compact 
the glyph index space with adjusting subglyph indices in composite glyphs.

Passing to Ken since he handles pdfwrite from now.

Enhancement still missing in Ghostscript 9.03
