> The problem that one cannot copy text from a PDF created via dvips and using METAFONT-generated bitmap fonts has recently been fixed — the original author of dvips, Tomas Rokicki ([1], [2]) has “come out of retirement” (as far as this program is concerned anyway) to fix this and is giving a talk about it next week at the TeX Users Group conference ([3], [4])
Hope that will be filmed and put online, sounds like an intriguing talk to watch!
- svat 7y agoUnfortunately the talks at TUG were not recorded this year, but you can read the preprint (http://tug.org/tug2019/preprints/rokicki-pdfbitmap.pdf http://tug.org/tug2019/preprints/rokicki-pdfbitmap.pdf) which will probably be published in the next issue of TUGboat.
