NAME
afm2tfm - convert Adobe font metrics to TeX font
metrics
DESCRIPTION
PostScript fonts are (or should be) accompanied
by font metric files such as Times-Roman.afm, which
describes the characteristics of the font called Times-Roman. To
use such fonts with TeX, we need TFM files that contain similar
information. This program does that conversion. For more
information, print out the dvips manual.
FILES
psfonts.map in the config directory used by
dvips (update this).
../afm/Makefile in the dvips sources (look at this for
examples).
SEE ALSO
dvips(1),
tex(1),
vptovf(1)
BUGS
An option to add letterspacing to the virtual font was
rejected by Knuth because it would make the fi and fl ligatures
break the normal rhythmic pattern.
