+Capital Baseball contains a lot of new fonts:
+7-segment, 14-segment, Simple, matrix fonts like Flyspec and
+Neckerspoel, and Capital Baseball itself.
+Capital Baseball contains the folling files (run the 'driver'
+files through Metafont).
+
+capbas.mf 4160 10-06-94 'driver file' for Capital Baseball font.
+capbasd.mf 4384 10-06-94 'driver file' for CapBas DoubleOutline font.
+capfon.mf 15986 10-03-94 Contains character definitions
+cmbug.mf 662 10-06-94 Example of mftools.mf.
+ Creates a 'buggy' version of cmtt10.
+ Create larger magnifications!
+cmgray.mf 572 10-06-94 Example of mftools.mf.
+ Creates a 'grayed' version of cmssbx10.
+d7seg.mf 6863 10-03-94 'driver file' for a seven-segment font.
+deseg.mf 8639 10-03-94 'driver file' for a 14-segment (star) font.
+flyspec.mf 7113 10-03-94 'driver file' for Flyspec (5x5 matrix font).
+ Render this at mag=0.3.
+mftools.mf 8828 10-21-94 This file contains my Metafont toolkit.
+necker.mf 8003 10-03-94 'driver file' for Neckerspoel (5x8 matrix font).
+readme 3272 10-21-94 This file.
+simdefs.mf 5730 10-03-94 Font definitions for Simple.
+simfon.mf 5616 10-03-94 'driver file' for Simple.
+
+The toolkit contains the following functions, which work on the
+'currentpicture' (the character glyph as Metafont has hit in
+memory at the moment of the application of the function)
+
+outline(a) outline a character. 'a' controls thickness of
+ outline, and is a fraction of character width 'w'.
+douboutline(a,b) keep the character, and draw an outline of
+ thickness 'a' at distance 'b' around it.
+gentile generate a tiling pattern. See the mftools.mf
+ file and the example cmbugs.mf for its use.
+ After this, do a 'tilepicture:=currentpicture".
+tilepic(til) apply tiling pattern 'til' to the character
+ glyph in memory (pictures are 'AND'ed).
+otilepic(til,a) apply tiling pattern 'til' to the character, and
+ create an outline of the character. The character
+ and tiling are 'AND'ed, the outline is 'OR'ed.
+xmirror reflect around axis x=0.5w.
+ymirror reflect around axis y=0.5(h+d).
+reversevideo invert the 'currentpicture'. Boundary: (w * (h+d)).
+
+Happy Metafonting,
+Phons.
