[bug #63018] [PATCH] make glyphs in ZD font accessible via their Unicode spellings

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #63018 (group groff):

[comment #14 comment #14:]
> There is a slight wrinkle with this. Although we have the groff font files
for devps, we don't have the original pfa and afm files which were used to
generate those files. If we use the current generation of URW fonts, as the
U-foundry in devpdf does, you will see differences between what is produced
now, with current .afm files and afmtodit, and what was produced when the
original grops fonts were created.

You've refreshed my memory.  There *might* not be a problem here.  I happen to
have the following files lying around.  According to their time stamps, I
grabbed them over 2 years ago.

Adobe-Core35_AFMs-229.tar.gz
Adobe-Core35_AFMs-314.tar.gz

If I'm not mistaken, these generate the font description files in font/devps
and font/devps/old.

The proof of the pudding is of course in the afmtoditting.

I'll report back when I know more.
