<p>Related files and distributions:

     <ul>
<li>The TeX Directory Structure (TDS) standard, available at
(<a href="ftp://tug.org/tex/tds">ftp://tug.org/tex/tds</a> and <code></code><var>CTAN:</var><code>/tds</code>)
specifies a directory tree for all TeX library files.  The directory
names given in <a href="Suppliers.html#Suppliers">Suppliers</a> and <a href="Typefaces.html#Typefaces">Typefaces</a> are intended to mesh
with that standard.

     <li>The <code>modes.mf</code> file (<a href="ftp://tug.org/tex/modes.mf">ftp://tug.org/tex/modes.mf</a>)
contains recommended mode names to use as directory names.

     <li>The PSfonts distribution (<code></code><var>CTAN:</var><code>/fonts/psfonts</code>) contains
TeX support for many fonts, both commercially available and free.

     <li>The Fontinst distribution (<code></code><var>CTAN:</var><code>/fonts/utilities/psfonts</code>)
supports quite general creation of virtual fonts, named according to the
scheme given here.

     <li>The Dvips translator (original at
<a href="ftp://labrea.stanford.edu/pub/dvips*.tar.gz">ftp://labrea.stanford.edu/pub/dvips*.tar.gz</a> and variation at
<a href="ftp://tug.org/tex/dvipsk.tar.gz">ftp://tug.org/tex/dvipsk.tar.gz</a>) supports resident and
downloadable PostScript fonts.  Dvips was the first real application of
Fontname 1.  Dvips also includes Afm2tfm, another program that can
create virtual fonts.

     <li>The Dviljk processor (<a href="ftp://tug.org/tex/dviljk.tar.gz">ftp://tug.org/tex/dviljk.tar.gz</a>)
contains TeX support for the fonts built into the LaserJet 4.

Stanford Computer Science Department Technical Report STAN-CS-85-1074,
September 1985, for a comprehensive terminology of font design.
