+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label tfm</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>What are TFM files?</h3>
+<p>TFM stands for TeX Font Metrics; TFM files hold
+information about the sizes of the characters of the font in question,
+and about ligatures and kerns within that font. One TFM file is
+needed for each font used by TeX, that is for each design (point)
+size for each weight for each family; one TFM file serves for all
+magnifications, so that there are (typically) fewer TFM files than
+there are PK files. The important point is that TFM files are
+used by TeX (LaTeX, etc.), but are not, generally, needed by the
+printer driver.
