Subject: Re: portability of pk files
Cc: tex-k@cs.umb.edu
Yes. All of the file formats -- pk/tfm/gf/pxl (and of course the
ASCII pl) are portable between all properly-implemented
TeX's on all computers.
The only standard file format which is not portable are the .base/.fmt
files. However, web2c makes even those portable (as a compile-time
option, since loading on LittleEndian machines is slowed), as long
as the .base/.fmt has no floating-point info (which no extant format
-- to my knowledge -- does).
