Summary of Metafont Fonts Available (Approximate Digest Format)

This list includes all known fonts available in metafont format, whether
public domain or not.  Archive sites for ftp are listed where known.
There is also a BITNET archive at [e-mail].

This list is formatted as a sort-of-digest so you can skip through
it easily (e.g. use control-G in rn).

I also included some notes on how to use the fonts, in the (probably vain)
hope of avoiding a deluge of questions on the net.  Note that I cannot
give instructions for specific packages, and I cannot answer questions
about specific printers.  I have included some information about TeX and
troff, but I can't go into more much more detail over the net (i.e. I am
not offering to provide detailed technical support).

Subject: About Metafont

Metafont is a programming language for describing fonts.  It was written
by Donald Knuth and is documented in
    Computers & Typesetting/C: The METAFONTbook
    Knuth, Donald E.
    Addison Wesley, 1986
    ISBN 0-201-13445-4, or 0-201-13444-6 (soft cover)
    Library access: Z250.8.M46K58, or 686.2'24, or 85-28675.

A font written in Metafont is actually a computer program which, when run,
will generate a bitmap (`raster') for a given typeface at a given size,
for some particular device.

Subject: What you need in order to use the fonts

You cannot print the metafont fonts directly (unless you want a listing of
the program, that is).  Instead, you must generate a bitmap font and use
that to print something.  If you have TeX or troff, the process for doing
this is outlined below.  This is not meant to be compete documentation,
though, but simply enough to get you started.
If you want to use a font generated by metafont on an HP LaserJet, for
example, you must follow this general procedure:
* Generate the bitmap font with Metafont.
  This will produce a file called (for example) "myfont10.300gf".
* Convert this to a pk format file -- the pk format is much more compact,
  and is used by most software in preference to gf files.  You can use
  gftopk (which comes with metafont, or in a package called mfware).
    $ gftopk myfont10.300gf
    $
  This produces myfont10.300pk
* Convert the pk-format font into one suitable for your printer.  For an
  HP, there are several utilities -- the one I use is called pk2sfp:
    $ pk2sfp myfont10.300pk > myfont10.300sfp
  You will have to find this program.  If you are using TeX you do not need
  it, though -- see "Converting between font formats" below.
* Download the font to the printer.  You will need to do more than simply
  send the file to the printer.  For example, on the HP you must send an
  escape sequence like ESC*c100D to tell the printer there's a font coming,
  and that it's going to be font number 100.  You then send the font, and
  then in the rest of the job say something like ESC*c100ESC*c4FESC(100X
  to tell the printer you've finished, and to start using the font.  (ESC
  in these examples stands for the ASCII Escape, chracter 033 octal, 27 in
  decimal).  All of this must be in the same print job.

Doing this without going insane involves setting up macros or shell-scripts
to automate it for you.


Subject: How to use Metafont fonts with TeX

In addition to generating a `gf' file, metafont will also generate a '.tfm'
file.  You will need to put the tfm file into your TeX font directory --
for example, /usr/local/tex/fonts.  You will need to put either the gf or
the pk file there too -- probably the pk file.  Some dvi drivers need the
font to be listed in a description file, too -- the name and location of
this seems to vary wildly from site to site, but FONTDESC is not unlikely.
Chris Torek's `mctex' package includes some drivers that need this.

For testing, you might be able to say something like
  $ TEXFONTS="/users/lee/fonts:/usr/local/lib/tex/fonts"; export TEXFONTS
to get TeX to look in more than one directory -- see your local TeX guide.

When you have installed the font, you can use it from TeX directly in the
usual way.  For most fonts, the filename is the same as the font name, so,
for example, ccr10.300pk contains the bitmaps for a font called ccr at size
10pt.  You can look at the Metafont source for a given font to determine
the name of the font, and you might also be able to cheat by editing the
font description file FONTDESC.
Using other fonts with LaTeX generally requires more work.


Subject: How to use Metafont fonts with Troff

If, when you run troff, you get the message `typesetter busy', you have the
original Ossanna-troff, also called otroff.  Chris Lewis has a package which
will let you use TeX fonts with troff -- it's called psroff, and
comes with documentation.
ftp: gatekeeper.dec.com (16.1.0.2) pub/misc/psroff-2.0.tar.Z
ftp: cs.toronto.edu [128.100.1.65] pub/psroff.tar.Z

If, when you run troff, you get something like this:
    x T 300
    x res 300 1 1
you have ditroff.  This is sometimes called titroff or psroff.  In this
case, you will probably need to do the following:
1) convert the font to your printer's format
2) generate a width table for the font
3) add the font to the DESC file for the appropriate device
4) arrange for troff to download the font
5) tell troff about the font by running `makedev DESC' in the right place.

If, when you run troff, you get something like this:
    X hp(SCM)(CM)(AF)(AD) 300 1 1
    Y P default letter 2550 3300 0 0 90 90 2460 3210
you have sqtroff, change (4) onwards to:
4) put the font in the appropriate raster directory
5) tell sqtroff about the font by running `sqmakedev DESC' or `sqinstall'.

In each case, you should be able to get help from your vendor.

Note that Chris Lewis' psroff package has software to make width tables for
troff from pk files.


Subject: Converting between font formats

Conversions to and from pbm and pk format were posted to comp.text.tex
and to alt.sources on the 9th of August, 1990 by Angus Duggan
([e-mail]).  The program is pbmtopk, and there are also at least
two patches.

Chris Lewis' psroff package includes a program to go from pk both to the
HP LaserJet and to PostScript.

John McClain ([e-mail]) has some conversion programs for
various graphics formats to/and from pk files.

I don't have an address or number for Kinch Computer Co., sorry.


Subject: Where to get bitmap versions of the fonts

There are archives containing the bitmaps of many of these fonts at various
sizes and resolutions.  The fonts must have been generated for the correct
print engine: e.g. write-white or write-black.  The archives generally hold
only the sizes used by TeX.  These are `magstep' sizes, and are not exact
point sizes.  It is probably better to generate them from the Metafont
sources yourself if you can.

The best place to look for raster fonts is almost certainly
    mims-iris.waterloo.edu (129.97.129.116)
This probably has all the HP fonts in the world....  some others are:
    ctrsci.math.utah.edu (128.110.198.1)
    science.utah.edu (128.110.192.2)
    ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23)

The occasional posting of ftp sites to comp.misc and comp.archives lists
these and several other sites.


Getting fonts by FTP and Mail

If you are using ftp, you will need either the name of the host or
the Internet number.  For example, to connect to ymir, listed as
    ftp: ymir.claremont.edu [134.173.4.23]
you will need to type something like
    ftp ymir.claremont.edu
If that doesn't work, try using the number:
    ftp 134.173.4.23
If that doesn't work, on Unix systems you can use nslookup (it's usually
/usr/etc/nslookup) to find the host number -- it might have changed.
Type the entire host name, and after a few seconds nslookup will give
you the address.

Once you have connected, you will need to go to the appropriate directory,
lists its contents, and retrieve the files.

Most of the machines listed here run Unix, and you use "ls" and "cd" to
list files and to change directories.  Ymir runs VMS, and you will have
to put square brackets around directory names, like [this].

Remember that although Metafont sources are text files, pk fonts are not
ASCII, and you will have to use binary mode for them.  In general, use
text mode for README files and *.mf files, and binary mode for other
font files.  Files ending in .Z are compressed binary files -- you will
need to use binary mode, and then uncompress the files when you get them.


You can get files from ymir by sending mail messages to
[e-mail]

For example,
    send [tex.mf.misc]cmapl10.mf
will get the file cmapl10.mf from the directory "tex.mf.misc".
You can't get binary files in this way.

There is an ftp-by-mail BITNET service, BITFTP, for BITNET users.

Before getting large files by mail, please remember to get permission from
all intervening sites.  Ask your site administrator, who can send mail to
Postmaster at each site on the way if necessary.


Subject: Fonts: AMS (see under Euler)

The American Mathematical Society has adopted TeX, and has had some fonts
designed especially by Herman Zapf.  These are known as the Euler fonts,
and are described below.  The Metafont sources are now available by ftp.

NOTE that you should build these using virmf, or at least with a version
of Matafont that does not have cmbase pre-loaded.  You may also get
errors reported when building some of the smaller sizes -- simply press
return.

There are
* AMS Euler -- a calligraphic font.  This is not suitable as it stands for
  text use in TeX, because it has a non-standard encoding.

* AMS extra maths symbols
* AMS computer modern extensions
* AMS Cyrillic (this is the same as University of Washington Cyrillic)

There is also some documentation.

You can get them from the AMS directly or from ymir:
ftp: e-math.ams.com [130.44.1.100] /ams/amsfonts/sources
ftp: ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23)
Note that the AMS doesn't send notification of changes, so e-math is more
likely to be up to date.

Subject: Fonts: Committee

This was produced during a workshop tutorial given by Donald Knuth.
This is said (by Don Hosek, whom I trust in such things) to be hard-wired
for the APS typesetter...  It is described in Tugboat Vol. 5 No. 2 (Nov. 84).

ftp: ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23): cd [anonymous.tex.mf.misc]
ftp: files are font1.mf and font1base.mf


Subject: Fonts: Computer Modern

Computer Modern is Donald Knuth's font family used for his later
`Art of Computer Programming' books.  It contains
    cmr -- computer modern roman
    cmmi -- computer modern maths italic
    cmti -- computer modern text italic
    cmb -- computer modern bold
    cmss -- computer modern sans serif
    Cmtt -- computer modern typewriter
    cmvtt -- computer modern variable-spaced typewriter
and several variations on each of the above (e.g. bold extended...).
There are also some experimental fonts, such as cmff, a `funny' font, and
cmfib, a font based on Fibonacci numbers.

These are all included in a standard TeX distribution, although I only know
of one site archiving the metafont files seperately.  The official TeX
distribution site is labrea.stanford.edu:

ftp: labrea.stanford.edu [36.8.0.47] cd pub/tex/cm
ftp: ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23): cd [anonymous.tex.mf.standard]

Many TeX ftp archive sites also give access to the bitmaps (pk files),
although you usually have to get them all at once.

There is also a reparameterised version of CM by John Sauter, which makes
it easy to generate fonts at desired sizes-- this is especially useful for
non-TeX users.

ftp: ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23): cd [anonymous.tex.mf.sauter]
See also: Babel, Sauter

There are some more Computer Modern variants stored at ymir; these
include parameters for generating cm fonts at sizes 14, 18, 24 and 36pt.
ftp: ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23): cd [anonymous.tex.mf.variants]

There is also a Pica typewriter font -- italic and bold come out with
straight and wavy underlines (respectively), however.  This is in
ftp: ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23): cd [anonymous.tex.mf.pica]

Versions of these fonts suitable for use with an X Windows previewer (xtex
and SeeTeX) are available from
ftp: foobar.colorado.edu pub/SeeTeX

A variant of CMTT with 8-bit characters for the Mac is available for US$20
from [e-mail] -- this is called MACTT.  Mf source is included.

Thorn, thorn, yogh, Yogh and Polish ogonek.  There are two styles of thorn,
but I note that there is no wynn.  You may have to create an empty file, or
rename a file -- I forget exactly what I had to do.  Some of these characters
can also be found in the International Phonetic Alphabet font as well, but
Julian's are much more convenien for working with Old English.

Sabita Panigrahi is working on Oriya (one of the modern Indian scripts),
but this is not yet available.

This is a little like Palatino, annd includes a sans-serif variant.
It is not yet of production quality, unfortunately.

Subject: Fonts: Pica

There is also a Pica typewriter font -- italic and bold come out with
straight and wavy underlines (respectively), however.  This is in

version of the upper case.

Subject: Fonts: Sanskrit
(see Fonts: Devanagari)


Subject: Fonts: Sauter

This is a rework of Computer Modern.  The outlines are the same, as far as
I know, but it is much easier to generate the various fonts.

Subject: Fonts: Tamil

(Tamil is a very beautiful squiggly Indian script)
An unfinished version of Washington Tamil is available from the University
of Washington, and is included on their Unix TeX distribution in directory:
TeX3.14/MFcontrib/metafonts/washington/tamil together with supporting software.

Subject: Fonts: Tengwar

There are at least two Tengwar fonts,
Mike Urban's:

Julian Bradfield <[e-mail]> also has both Tengwar and a
prototype version of Cirth runes.  Email only, although I have a copy and
can mail them to you if you can't reach Julian.  I prefer Julian's
Tengwar, I think, but I am not an expert on Tolkien fonts...

Subject: Fonts: Thai

There are at least three Thai fonts around.  The rmit font is a little tricky
to make, as it needs to be in a directory called ``thai2'', because it
refers to files called "../thai2/name".  USL makes easily.
The third Thai font is by Dr. Robert Batzinger and associates at the United
Bible Societies in Southeast Asia.  I know no more than this.

Subject: Fonts: Vietnamese

ftp: blackbox.hacc.washington.edu [128.95.200.1]  cd /pub/testviet

This test package includes tfm and pk fonts at 10 point roman and italic.
I understand that you need TeX 3.0 or later to use this, and drivers that
cope with fonts containing more than 128 characters.

Subject: Fonts: Washington Symbol Font

A (compatible) superset of the standard LaTeX symbol font.
