Hi,

yesterday, I have uploaded a new teTeX-beta release:
  ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-src-beta-20020901.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmf-beta-20020901.tar.gz

Main differences from previous release:
        * remove libs/libtiff/mkversion binary
        * more careful memory settings in texmf.in
        * fix cleanup() in fmtutil, texconfig, texlinks, updmap
        * new updmap options to allow to download standard fonts
          with dvips and pdftex

The new updmap options allow to set up dvips / pdftex to download the
standard fonts. Downloading the standard fonts lets to bigger files,
but this works around bugs where badly broken fonts would be used instead
of the original Adobe fonts.

updmap generated two map files for pdftex: pdftex_dl14.map and
pdftex_ndl14.map (one with "download" and the other "no download").
pdftex.map will be a symlink to one of the two, depending on what you
choose as pdftexDownloadBase14 (true/false) in your updmap configuration.

The setup for dvips is more user-friendly, because updmap generates
a default configuration for dvips (depending on dvipsDownloadBase35)
plus two additional map files that can be used to override on the dvips
commandline: -Pdownload35 resp. -Pbuildin35.
