+.TH AFM2TFM 1 "9 August 1990"
+.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. For more
+information, print out the dvips manual.
+.SH FILES
+.I psfonts.map
+in the config directory used by dvips (update this).
+.br
+.I ../afm/Makefile
+in the dvips sources (look at this for examples).
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+dvips(1), tex(1), vptovf(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 <rokicki@cs.stanford.edu> and Donald E. Knuth
