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 simi
lar 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 lig
atures break the normal rhythmic pattern.
