On Sat, 29 Jan 2005, Heiko Oberdiek submitted version 1.2 of the package
pkfix
Short description of pkfix: Some PostScript files with bitmapped fonts contain comments, added by dvips. Then pkfix tries to find the type 1 versions of the font and replaces them.

Changes of v1.2: * Bug fix: Merging is now based on type 1 names. This solves the problem, if different bitmap fonts maps to the same type 1 font, eg. (ecrm1000, larm1000) -> SFRM1000. * Suppression of PK generation, if environment variable MKTEXPK is supported. * If output file is - (standard output) then messages of pkfix are written to standard error output, resulting in better pipe support.
Changes of v1.1: * Bug fix: embedded encodings are now detected and used. * The temporary dvi files are now written directly. Thus pkfix does not depend on TeX (but on dvips) and runs faster.
Thanks for the update, I installed it.
