+.TH AFM2TFM 1 "1 February 2016"
+.SH NAME
+afm2tfm \- convert Adobe font metrics to TeX font metrics
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+PostScript fonts are (or should be) accompanied by font metric files
+such as
+.B Times-Roman.afm,
+which describes the characteristics of the font called Times-Roman.
+To use such fonts with TeX, we need TFM files that contain similar
+information. This program does that conversion.
+.PP
+For all the details, see the dvips manual (http://tug.org/dvips).
+.SH FILES
+.I psfonts.map
+in the config directory used by dvips.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+dvips(1), tex(1), vptovf(1), fontinst(1), afm2pl(1), otftotfm(1)
+.SH BUGS
+An option to add letterspacing to the virtual font was rejected by Knuth
+because it would make the fi and fl ligatures break the normal rhythmic
+pattern.
+.SH AUTHORS
+Tomas Rokicki and Donald E. Knuth.
+.PP
+Maintained in TeX Live; please send bug reports or other correspondence
