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]
