+category Package
+shortdesc Font manipulation utilities (mkt1font and vpl2vpl).
+longdesc The accfonts package contains two utilities to permit easy
+longdesc manipulation of fonts, in particular the creation of unusual
+longdesc accented characters. Mkt1font works on Type 1 PostScript fonts,
+longdesc and vpl2vpl works on TeX virtual fonts. Both programs read in a
+longdesc font, together with a simple definition file containing lines such
+longdesc as "128 z acute"; they then write out a new version of the font
+longdesc with the requested new characters in the numerical slots
+longdesc specified. Great care is taken over the positioning of accents,
+longdesc and over the provision of kerning information for new characters;
+longdesc mkt1font also generates suitable "hints" to enhance quality at
+longdesc small sizes or poor resolutions. The programs are written in Perl.
