C.2.2 Mode and resolution location
----------------------------------

We considered having the `mode' at the bottom of the font tree:
     texmf/fonts/pk/SUPPLIER/TYPEFACE/MODE/DPI/

   In this case, however, it is difficult to limit subdirectory
searching to the mode required for a particular device.

   We then considered moving the `dpiNNN' up to below the mode:
     texmf/fonts/pk/MODE/DPI/SUPPLIER/TYPEFACE/

   But then it is not feasible to omit the `dpiNNN' level altogether on
systems which can and do choose to use long filenames.
