mff fonts based on the CMR programs.
I have never been able to decide exactly what to call these fonts. I
have always thought of Computer Modern, CM Sans-Serif and CM Typewriter
as separate families in one CMR "meta-family", but that may or may not
jar with your understanding of Knuth's intent... :-)
From a Platonist's point of view, CM is a perfectly-formed concept of a
typeface, floating about "out there" and what I have here is merely a
new implemntation of it. So calling it (something)CM is reasonable. To
fit in with Karl Berry's naming system, they should all bre prefixed
with a foundry letter; I shall use "f" ("freeware") for now.
Thus we have
fcm Computer Modern very similar to cmr or cmti
fcm?s CM Sanserif very similar to cmss
fcm?t CM Typewriter very similar to cmtt
fcm?st CM Sanserif Typewriter
e.g., mff -ffcm fcmr12 fcmrs12 fcmrst12
There are two obvious ways to store these files:
-- put the mf file in /usr/local/lib/tex/mf/inputs and fcm.mff in
a global mff file directory such as /usr/local/lib/tex/mf/mff; or
-- put the the fcm.mf files in their own directory and put
the fcm.mff file there as mff.rc (then the -f option is not
needed so long as you cd there first).
