I am trying to aleviate that with the <ch.***/> elements added to the
DTD. This would allow the gbtolatex.xsl to automatically generate the
appropriate output. Effectively, we're putting off choosing the
encoding from the XML stage to the transformation stage. This has only
been implemented in 01hh.xml but will eventually be the standard.

I'm not stubborn about using Souvenir. There are other similar fonts
such as Zapf Elliptical. I'm not sure what LaTeX font would be
closest.

I have some of the images already converted to PDF ... somewhere. I
was using a GhostScript script that converted our GIF files to PDF.
Many have never been converted, so you probably want to set something
up for yourself anyway.

Will send a diff offlist.
