2. true resolution independent position on the page The default value of this parameter is resolution dependent Allowing individual characters to drift from their correctly rounded positions by a few pixels while regaining the true position at the beginning of each new word improves the spacing of letters in words E Makes dvips attempt to generate an EPSF file with a tight bounding box This only works on one page files and it only looks at marks made by characters and rules not by any included graphics In addition it gets the glyph metrics from the tfm file so characters that lie outside their enclosing tfm box may confuse it In addition the bounding box might be a bit too loose if the character glyph has significant left or right side bearings Nonetheless this option works well for creating small EPSF files for equations or tables or the like Note of course that dvips output is resolution dependent and thus does not make very good EPSF files especially if the images are to be scaled use these EPSF files with a great deal of care Chapter 8 h name l num m Manual Pages 35 Read the dvi file from standard input and write the PostScript to standard output The standard input must be seekable so it cannot be a pipe If you must use a pipe write a shell script that copies the pipe output to a temporary file and then points dvips at this file This option also disables the automatic reading of the PRINTER
