+ | MF2PT1: |
+ | Produce PostScript Type 1 |
+ | fonts from Metafont source |
+ | |
+ | By Scott Pakin, scott+mf@pakin.org |
+ +------------------------------------+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+mf2pt1 facilitates producing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a Metafont
+source file. mf2pt1's advantage over tools such as TeXtrace and
+mftrace is that it does not rely on bitmap tracing and therefore can
+produce higher-quality Type 1 fonts than trace-based tools. 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).
