+
+o The non-slanted PostScript font definition files have been regenerated to
+  include left and right italic correction values. Applying those to a glyph
+  (this is, prepending the glyph with `\,' and appending `\/' to the glyph)
+  sets the glyph width to the real value given by the horizontal bounding
+  box values. Without those escapes, the advance width for the particular
+  glyph is used (which can differ considerably).
+
+  Most users will neither need this feature nor notice a difference in
+  existing documents (provided \, and \/ is used as advertised, namely for
+  italic fonts only); its main goal is to improve image generation with
+  grohtml.
+
+  This is an experimental change, and feedback is welcome.
