        it doesn't work with MetaPost.  Inserted in its place a pointer to a

        all occurrences of @ifinfo with @ifnottex so as not to preclude HTML
        generation.

        * mf2pt1.texi:
        Documented the glyph_name command, the new way of dumping MetaPost
        memory, the --rounding option, and the fact that mf2pt1 now invokes
        t1asm and fontforge automatically.

        * mf2pt1.pl:
        Modified to tell FontForge to fix any overlapping paths found in
        the font.

        specify explicitly the PostScript glyph name associated with it.

        * mf2pt1.pe:
        Removed; <fontname>.pe is now generated automatically by mf2pt1.pl.

        * mf2pt1.pl:
        Modified to automatically try running the output through t1asm and
        fontforge.

        * mf2pt1.pl:
        Hoisted extraction of the font extension above MF2PT1_CMD and assigned
        the value to $charnum instead of leaving it for a long time in $1.
        Renamed $dx[123]m and $dy[123]m to $dx[123]d and $dy[123]d (for
        "denominator").  Renamed "precision" to "rounding".  Added blank lines
        after each section of output.

        * mf2pt1.pl:
        Made the following changes: replaced --mem with -mem; renamed $gn
        to $gname and used ?: for assignment to it; cleaned up the spacing
        around the frac_string and frac_approx uses; cleaned up the
        `rmoveto' comment; fixed the "good" lines comment; renamed $dxm
        and $dym to $dxd and $dyd (for "denominator"); fixed the precision
        warnings; moved Werner's new functions to the top of the file with
        the others; added prototypes for those functions; and, added a SEE
        ALSO for FontForge.

        * mf2pt1.mp: Modified the comments to be more compatible with mftinc.
