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.
