[tex-k] bug in dvips 5.86d in partial font downloading

[Tom Kacvinsky]

Yes, pdftex handles this correcly because it passes more information on to the
font subsetting engine (which is in writet1.c) than dvips passes on to the font
subsetting engine.  I know of a way of patching dvips so it does the right
thing, but I am short on time right now.
