The catch +is that mf2pt1 imposes a number of restrictions on the Metafont input +so it is not, as the name may imply, an automatic converter of +arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format. + + +Installation +------------ + +For installation instructions, see the mf2pt1 manual (mf2pt1.pdf). + + +Copyright and license +--------------------- + +Copyright (C) 2014 Scott Pakin, scott+mf@pakin.org + +This package may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions +of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3c of this +license or (at your option) any later version.
