\noindent
This document describes the fonts \texttt{SkakNew} and \texttt{AlphaDia}. \texttt{AlphaDia} is based on the popular font \texttt{ChessAlpha} by Eric Bentzen. The \texttt{SkakNew} fonts are a set of PostScript\texttrademark{} \mbox{Type-1} fonts converted by \texttt{mftrace/autotrace} from \Metafont{} sources based on the \texttt{Skak} fonts by Torben Hoffmann and Dirk Bächle which themselves are based on \texttt{chess} by Piet Tutelaers.
The conversion process was only the first step. A lot of work went into cleaning the outlines (reducing nodes, adding missing extremes, correcting wrong outline direction, etc.pp.). The next step included better glyph metrics both horizontally \& vertically, better sidebearings and consistent axis height (adapted to the values of \texttt{Computer Modern})~\ldots
