Details about this version:

Note to all users: Please report bugs.

Note to modem users: This packages contains encoding tables for CJK font support (Chinese, Japanese, Korean). Without these tables the size of the BePDF installation package is about 2 MB only. Probably the CJK encoding tables will not change very frequently and could be provided as separate downloads. Please let me know if there is a demand for this variant.

Note to PPC users: if there is still one who uses BeOS regularly, let me know and I will provide a PPC version.
