+ I. Description of the ps4mf-package
+ ------------------------------------
+
+ In order to use Postscript-Type1-fonts for TeX without any special
+ encoding scheme (like dc, ec, nfss) you now can convert your favourite
+ postscript-font to Metafont-readable files.
+ This postscript-font has to be encoded in the "AdobeStandardEncoding-
+ scheme". The output is a metafont-file in stardard-computer-modern
+ encoding like the cm-family.
+
+ You also can get dc-encoding, just choose right conversion routine
+ (see below at chapter III.).
+
+ This package is based on the ps2mf-package of the authors:
+ Marcel Dings (original idea of the ps2mf-package) and Erik-Jan Vens (new
+ ps2mf.exe 2.0).
+
+
+ [...]
+
+ For more look into the package!

+
+ VI. WHERE TO GET FONTS:
+ -----------------------
+ (a) To get a nice listings, character-pictures and ftp-connections of fonts
+ try WWW with mosaic/netscape/etc.:
+
+ CTAN at WWW:
+ http://jasper.ora.com/
+
+ There is a fontpage which allows to look at fonts and download them
+ directly!
+
+
+ (b) You can get postscript-fonts via anonymous ftp at
+
+ - ftp.uni-stuttgart.de (mirror of hobbes.nmsu.edu)
+ /pub/systems/os2/hobbes-mirror/multimed/fonts
+
+ - ftp.uni-freiburg.de
+ /pc/os2/atmfonts
+
+ - ftp obelix.icce.rug.nl
+ /pub/erikjan/fonts/type.one.fonts
+ /pub/erikjan/fonts/BitStream
+
+ - garbo.uwasa.fi
+ /pc/fonts
+ - Attention: utopia.zip - metafont problems!
+ If you look into the .mf file after using conv_gho you find
+ several hundred lines sprinkled randomly about the file
+ containing only a right parenthesis. When you delete these
+ lines, Metafont runs without a problem and you now have a
+ Utopia font.
+
+
+
