+
+<p>The <dfn>supplier</dfn> is the source of a font, typically a (digital) type
+foundry.
+
+ <p>You should use the supplier letter which matches the supplier you
+obtained the font from, not the original source; for example, Avant
+Garde was designed by Herb Lubalin for ITC, but Adobe also sells it.
+The name of the font that you get from Adobe should start with <code>p</code>.
+This is because font resellers typically make modifications to the
+original design.
+
+ <p>Notes on specific suppliers:
+
+ <dl>
+<dt><code>f</code>
+ <dd>For fonts that are distributed without any specific attribution to the
+creator, by individuals, or by small foundries. (Unfortunately, we
+don't have enough characters to assign one to every font
+supplier in the world.)
+
+ <br><dt><code>r</code>
+ <dd>obsolete; specifies raw fonts, in the old distribution of Dvips. New
+fonts should never use <code>r</code>. (The right thing to do is specify the
+correct encoding, variant, or whatever the font's characteristics
+actually are.)
+
+ <br><dt><code>z</code>
+ <dd>for fonts that just don't fit well into the naming scheme. The <code>z</code>
+should be followed by the real supplier letter.
+</dl>
+
+ <p>Here is the table from the file <code>supplier.map</code>. It is organized
+alphabetically by abbreviation. Each line consists of an abbreviation,
+directory name, and comment.
