Contents of for the AMIGA Documentation of version 2.71

This document describes a new implementation of ${\manual META}$ ${\manual FONT}$ 2.71 for the Commodore Amiga. ${\manual META}$ ${\manual FONT}$ is the name of a computer font generation system invented by Prof. Donald E. Knuth of Stanford University. It reads text files prepared with `programs' that specify the outline of characters in fonts of type, graphical symbols, or other elements for printing high quality documents. Typesetting systems like TEX make use of the font metric information produced by ${\manual META}$ ${\manual FONT}$ and printer drivers or screen previewers make use of the pixel information as to where to put the `ink.' The usage of the associated programs is described to some detail, but no introduction to the ${\manual META}$ ${\manual FONT}$ language itself is given. Refer to the bibliography (section

of this text) for detailed information about ${\manual META}$ ${\manual FONT}$ programming.
