+Summary of Metafont Fonts Available (Approximate Digest Format)
+
+This list includes all known fonts available in metafont format, whether
+public domain or not. Archive sites for ftp are listed where known.
+There is also a BITNET archive at LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU.
+
+This list is formatted as a sort-of-digest so you can skip through
+it easily (e.g. use control-G in rn).
+
+I have deleted the information on using fonts, as there's now an FAQ
+for comp.fonts. Please note that I don't use TeX, and can't answer
+questions about it. But I always welcome additions to this list.
+
+Many of the files are listed as being on a ctan archive.
+The CTAN servers are
+ ftp.shsu.edu (192.92.115.10),
+ ftp.dante.de (129.206.100.192), and
+ ftp.tex.ac.uk (134.151.79.32).
+These are mirrored at vaious places, although I don't have a list

+Subject: About Metafont
+
+Metafont is a programming language for describing fonts. It was written
+by Donald Knuth and is documented in
+ Computers & Typesetting/C: The METAFONTbook
+ Knuth, Donald E.
+ Addison Wesley, 1986
+ ISBN 0-201-13445-4, or 0-201-13444-6 (soft cover)
+ Library access: Z250.8.M46K58, or 686.2'24, or 85-28675.
+
+A font written in Metafont is actually a computer program which, when run,
+will generate a bitmap (`raster') for a given typeface at a given size,
+for some particular device.
+
+In order to use a metafont format font, you'll need to have metafont, or
+a program such as mf2ps. See the comp.fonts FAQ for more information.
+
+
+Subject: AMS (see also under Euler)
+
+The American Mathematical Society collection of Metafont fonts contains:
+[1] AMS Euler -- a calligraphic font, designed by Herman Zapf for the AMS.
+ It is designed for mathematical use, not as a text face. The fonts are
+ Fraktur, Script, Upright Italic, Math extension. (TUGboat Vol.10, No. 1)
+ Most of the Euler fonts use the plain base, not the cm base. You
+ should build these using virmf, or at least with a version of Metafont
+ that does not have cmbase pre-loaded. Any Errors reported when building
+ some of the samller sizes can be ignored.
+
+[2] AMS extra maths symbols (msam, msbm)
+
+[3] AMS computer modern extensions -- providing some of the CM fonts at
+ extra point-sizes.
+
+[4] AMS Cyrillic (this is the same as University of Washington Cyrillic)
+
+There is also some documentation.
+
+You can get them from the AMS directly:
+ftp: e-math.ams.com /ams/amsfonts/sources
+Any (infrequent) changes to these fonts happen on e-math first.

+
+
+Subject: Computer Modern
+
+Computer Modern is Donald Knuth's font family used for his later
+`Art of Computer Programming' books. It contains
+ cmr -- computer modern roman
+ cmmi -- computer modern maths italic
+ cmti -- computer modern text italic
+ cmb -- computer modern bold
+ cmss -- computer modern sans serif
+ Cmtt -- computer modern typewriter
+ cmvtt -- computer modern variable-spaced typewriter
+and several variations on each of the above (e.g. bold extended...).
+There are also some experimental fonts, such as cmff, a `funny' font, and
+cmfib, a font based on Fibonacci numbers.
+
+These are all included in a standard TeX distribution, although I only know
+of one site archiving the metafont files seperately.
+
+ftp: ctan: tex-archive/cm/mf/*
+There is also a very large and probably very complete collection in
+ftp: ctan: tex-archive/fonts/cm/*
+
+If all else fails, you can try:
+ftp: labrea.stanford.edu cd pub/tex/cm
+
+Many TeX ftp archive sites also give access to the bitmaps (pk files),
+although you usually have to get them all at once.
+
+There is also a reparameterised version of CM by John Sauter, which makes
+it easy to generate fonts at desired sizes-- this is especially useful for
+non-TeX users.
+
+ftp: ctan: tex-archive/cm/sauter/*
+See also: Babel, Sauter
+
+There is also a Pica typewriter font -- italic and bold come out with
+straight and wavy underlines (respectively), however. This is in
+ftp: ctan: tex-archive/cmpica/*
+
+Versions of these fonts suitable for use with an X Windows previewer (xtex
+and SeeTeX) are available from
+ftp: UNKNOWN [was foobar.colorado.edu] pub/SeeTeX
+
+A variant of CMTT with 8-bit characters for the Mac is available for US$20
+from yannis@frcitl81.BITNET -- this is called MACTT. Mf source is included.
+
+Subject: Concrete
+
+This font was designed for Donald Knuth's Concrete Mathematics book.
+It looks a little like a cross between American Typewriter and Computer
+Modern Roman. There are Roman and Italic faces.

+Subject: Hebrew
+
+A number of Hebrew fonts are available, with and without vowels. Those
+include the fonts Jerusalem, TelAviv, OldJaffa and DeadSea, Joel M. Hoffman's
+HCLASSIC (joel@wam.umd.edu), Jacques Goldman's REDIS, Shalom fonts and more.
+
+Some or all of the fonts are available in an 8-bit encoding; the Metafont
+files have names ending in "_newcode.mf". These are:
+Jerusalem, TelAviv, OldJaffa, DeadSea, redis{8,9,10,12,17}, rediss{8,9,10}.
+
+
+Jerusalem, TelAviv, OldJaffa and DeadSea are the "regular" fonts in most
+applications. Jerusalem is the default; DeadSea is a darker font; TelAviv is
+a sort of sans-serif font; OldJaffa is a narrow font.
+
+REDIS (redis*) contains a full set of Hebrew letters in a "sans-serif"
+style, and selected punctuation.
+
+Hclassic, dclassic, hcaption and dcaption have a companion slanted form, and
+provide Biblical-style letters along with full vocalization capabilities
+(i.e. vowels, called in Hebrew NIKUD). The fonts dclassic and dcaption are a
+modified version of hclassic and hcaption, in that they contain, apart from
+the original characters and vowels, also digits and special symbols copied
+from the font DeadSea.
+
+Usage is described in the guide classic_guide (available in noa.huji.ac.il
+in tex/tex_guides).
+
+ShalomScript10, ShalomStick10 and ShalomOldStyle10 are three variations of
+a Hebrew font with "vowels". Three fonts + vowels are available:
+ShalomScript10.mf, ShalomStick10.mf and ShalomOldStyle.mf.
+Usage is described in Shalom.readme.
+
+
+Carmel and carmel slanted (crml10, crmlsl10) are bold fonts written by
+Dr. Samy Zafrany of the Technion, Haifa, for headers and for emphasized text.

+Subject: Old English
+
+Note On Terminology:
+ Old English is a language spoken by the Anglo-Saxons in Britain up
+ until the first half or so of the 12th century. It is used to refer
+ to fonts used for setting the Old English language.
+ The term `Old English' is also used to mean the Black Letter fonts
+ used by mediaeval scribes, and called Gothic. Unfortunately, some
+ American typefounding companies use `Gothic' to mean `sans-serif'.
+ Both the Anglo-Saxon character sets and the ornamental Black Letter
+ fonts are listed here.
+
+Julian Bradfield's font for typesetting Old English in TeX -- this supplies
+extra characters for Computer Modern. The extra characters are eth, Eth,
+Thorn, thorn, yogh, Yogh and Polish ogonek. There are two styles of thorn,
+but I note that there is no wynn. You may have to create an empty file, or
+rename a file -- I forget exactly what I had to do. Some of these characters
+can also be found in the International Phonetic Alphabet font as well, but
+Julian's are much more convenient for working with Old English.
+
+Yannis' Fraktur fonts include ygoth, which can be used as
+an Old English Black Letter.

+
+Subject: Thai
+
+There are at least three Thai fonts around. The rmit font is a little tricky
+to make, as it needs to be in a directory called ``thai2'', because it
+refers to files called "../thai2/name". USL makes easily.
+The third Thai font is by Dr. Robert Batzinger and associates at the United
+Bible Societies in Southeast Asia. I know no more than this.
