+ * This class represents the contents of the font map file "ps2pk.map"
+ *
+ * A font map file is part of the machinery that make it possible to
+ * access PostScript (and possibly also TrueType and OpenType) fonts
+ * from a DVI file. 
+ *
+ * Long time ago, when TeX was only used with MetaFont fonts, the DVI
+ * file would specify a font by giving an 8-character name, such as
+ * 'cmr10'. The DVI previewer would then locate the associated PK font
+ * file, load it, and retrieve the character shaped. Happy times, they
+ * were.
+ *
+ * Today TeX is also used to access Type1 and TrueType fonts, which do
+ * not fit well into the TeX naming scheme. Like in earlier times, the
+ * DVI file specifies the name of a font, e.g. 'rpbkd', but nowadays
+ * the DVI previewer cannot just go and find a file 'rpbkd.pk'. No,
+ * no. Instead, the DVI previewr needs to look up the meaning of
+ * 'rpbkd' in a map-file. There it finds that 'rpbkd' refers to a font
+ * called 'URWBookmanL-DemiBold', to be found under the file name
+ * 'ubkd8a.pfb' whose glyphs are to be encoded using the '8a' encoding
+ * file (see the header file 'fontEncoding.h' for more information
+ * about encodings)
+ *
+ * Such map files exists for all dvi output drivers that are part of
+ * the TeX distribution that is installed on your
+ * computer. Unfortunately, KDVI is not part of a TeX distribution,
+ * and therefore does not have its own map file. As a workaround, KDVI
+ * uses the map file of the program ps2pk which is similar to KDVI in
+ * that the ps2pk driver does not have built-in fonts, unlike the
+ * PostScript printers for which dvips is used.
