+PostScript Type 1 Scalable Font) or a @acronym{TTF,TrueType Font}.
+
+Scalable fonts offer many advantages over bitmaps, as they allow documents to
+render correctly at many printer resolutions.  Moreover, Ghostscript can
+generate much better PDFs if given scalable PostScript fonts.
+
+Versions of this program prior to 1.0.5 were called @command{pktrace}.")
