[STR New]

Updated the attached tarball again. This third version also includes the
texttopdf filter. Note that this filter needs the fonts to be configured.
For most cases it is enough to rename
/usr/share/cups/charsets/pdf.utf-8.simple to
/usr/share/cups/charsets/pdf.utf-8 and to link the
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMono*.ttf files to
/usr/share/cups/fonts/ (fonts in package ttf-freefont). Linking in more
fonts allows even CJK UTF-8-text printing with the PDF workflow.

Now all essential PDF filters are included. pdftoijs is less important, as
current IJS drivers integrate perfectly into the PDF workflow with
GhostScript and foomatic-rip 4.0.
