+afm2pl converts an afm (Adobe Font Metric) file into a pl (Property List) file, which in its turn can be converted to a tfm (TeX Font Metric) file\&. It normally preserves kerns and ligatures, but also offers additional control over them\&.
 .PP
-afm2pl is meant to be a replacement for afm2tfm, on which it is based\&. With afm2tfm, preserving kerns and ligatures is possible only in a roundabout way\&.

 .PP
-For text fonts, Y&Y's texnansi is the recommended encoding to be used with afm2pl\&. This gives you a good character set with all the more important accented characters and many typographic symbols available as single characters, without a need for either virtual fonts or a separate text companion font\&.

 .PP
 Full LaTeX support for this encoding is available in the form of the texnansi package, which is already part of TeX Live and teTeX\&. These distributions also contain the encoding file texnansi\&.enc\&.

 .PP
-The distribution contains uppercased and lowercased versions of texnansi, viz\&. texnanuc\&.enc and texnanlc\&.enc, to allow font\-based rather than macro\-based uppercasing and lowercasing, and the familiar old ot1 encoding plus some variations in PostScript \&.enc format (I included these because they seem to be absent from teTeX/TeX Live)\&.

+.SS "The sz ligature \(ss"
+.PP
+Note that the texnanuc encoding provides no glyph for the sz ligature \(ss; you\'ll either have to substitute ss or provide a macro\-based solution\&. The following code uses either the usual glyph or substitutes the letters ss, depending on whether the glyph exists in the current font:

-In LaTeX, this code appears to work well enough, although on occasion you may need to insert \\protect\&. A better solution might involve the sixth parameter of the \\DeclareFontShape macro, but I failed to get that to work\&.

-Afm2pl currently doesn't do virtual fonts\&. That means that for things such as artificial smallcaps you have to turn elsewhere, e\&.g\&. to the fontinst package, which is part of any mainstream TeX distribution\&.

 .PP
 Look under texmf/tex/fontinst for fontinst support files, which allow you to generate a smallcaps font (tfm and vf files) from an afm2pl\-generated tfm file\&. This package only supports texnansi encoding\&.

 .PP
 There should be no real problem in doing the same for OT1 encoding\&. However, there are several variations of the OT1 encoding to take care of\&. Also, there are as far as I know no officially sanctioned PostScript names for all the variations of the OT1 encoding; the fontinst names contain spaces and are therefore not useable as PostScript names\&.

-.SH "FUTURE PLANS"
-
-.PP
-I am considering a revision which makes afm2pl a more complete replacement for afm2tfm\&. In that version, afm2pl can optionally create a second, virtual font, possibly with a different encoding and possibly letterspaced\&. The current option of non\-virtual letterspacing via kerns will be dropped\&. If the encodings differ then it is assumed that the virtual font is intended as a small\-caps version of the main font, and a scaling parameter can be specified for non\-matching glyphs\&.

+.SH "CHANGED IN VERSION 0.7.1"
+.PP
+In order to avoid name conflicts, the \&.enc\- and \&.lig files distributed with afm2pl got
+afm2pl\-
+prepended to their name\&. The program itself now first searches for the thus prepended name\&. If the \&.enc\- or \&.lig file is not found it will look for the original filename\&. The renaming of the afm2pl \&.enc files may require modification of some mapfiles\&.

+.SH "NOTES"
+.IP " 1." 4
+Except that arguably a narrowed Courier is less jarring than a full-width Courier, when used in combination with a normal proportional font. For Courier, choose .833 to match the width of cmtt. Better yet, don't use Courier at all; most TeX distributions offer various good replacements.
