+category Package
+shortdesc Help with installing fonts for TeX and LaTeX.
+longdesc TeX macros for converting Adobe Font Metric files to TeX metric
+longdesc and virtual font format. Fontinst helps mainly with the number
+longdesc crunching and shoveling parts of font installation. This means in
+longdesc practice that it creates a number of files which give the TeX
+longdesc metrics (and related information) for a font family that (La)TeX
+longdesc needs to do any typesetting in these fonts. Fontinst furthermore
+longdesc makes it easy to create fonts containing glyphs from more than one
+longdesc base font, taking advantage of e.g. "expert" font sets. Fontinst
+longdesc cannot examine files to see if they contain any useful
+longdesc information, nor automatically search for files or work with
+longdesc binary file formats; those tasks must normally be done manually or
+longdesc with the help of some other tool, such as the pltotf and vptovf
+longdesc programs. [description copied from TeX Catalogue]
