- Once you have a file in BDF format, your X platform should have the
- tools required to convert it into your local binary format. Depending
- on your platform this may be 'snf', 'pcf', or X11/News format ('ff'
- and 'fb').
-
- Here's a quick list of possible steps to get from "what you got" to X:
-
- Mac format bitmaps:
-
- No idea. If _you_ know how to read a Mac format bitmap file on some
- other platform, please tell norm <walsh@cs.umass.edu>.
-
- PC format bitmaps:
-
- Conversion to BDF is possible from TeX PK format and LaserJet softfont
- format. Other conversions are also within the realm of possibility.
- Feel free to ask norm <walsh@cs.umass.edu> for more information if you
- have a specific conversion in mind.
-
- TeX PK format bitmaps:
-
- PKtoBDF gets us directly to BDF format from here.
-
- Mac format postscript:
-
- Under MS-DOS, conversion to PC format postscript allows the font to
- be accessed with PS2PK (under *nix or MS-DOS). See above for TeX
- PK to X conversions.
-
- PC/*nix format PostScript
-
- Conversion to TeX PK with PS2PK allows us to get to BDF (indirectly).

- FAQ for comp.fonts: Part VIII: Font utilities
-
- Version 1.0.0, Release 02OCT92
-
-
- This section is divided into the following topics:
-
- 0. Notes about the utilities
- 1. PS2PK
- 2. TeX Utilities
- 3. MFPic
- 4. GNU Font Utilities
- 5. Font Editors
- 6. t1utils

-
- 0. Notes about the utilities
-
- I have just started collecting information about font utilities. I
- will gladly add any information that you can pass my way. Please send
- your submissions to norm <walsh@cs.umass.edu>.
-
- I would appreciate it if you could include a paragraph or so of description
- and the appropriate site/filename for retrieval.
-
- 1. PS2PK version 1.2
-
- PS2PK is a utility for converting Type1 postscript fonts into TeX PK files.
- The source code is distributed and it has been compiled for both *nix boxes
- and MS-DOS based machines.
-
- Here is the original announcement:
-
- Ps2pk-1.2 available
- -------------------
- (June 1992)
-
- Version 1.2 of ps2pk is now available on:
- ftp.urc.tue.nl (address: 131.155.2.79)
- directory: /pub/tex
- files: ps2pk12.README ( 1k) This file
- ps2pk12.tar.Z (391k) Sources
- ps2pk386.zip (232k) MSDOS executables
- utopia.tar.Z (342k) Adobe Utopia font family
- courier.tar.Z (207k) IBM Courier font family
-
- For people having difficulties in handling UNIX `.tar.Z' format I
- have made some UNIX tools (only executables) available in:
- directories: /pub/unixtools/dos
- /pub/unixtools/vms
-
- See the system specific TARZ file for some help.
-
- Ftp.urc.tue.nl can not handle E-mail requests. But sites are free
- to put the ps2pk12 stuff on any server that can.
-
- When do you need ps2pk?
- ----------------------
- Ps2pk is a tool that converts a PostScript type1 font into a corres-
- ponding TeX PK font. The tool is especially interesting if you want
- to use fully hinted type1 fonts in your DVI previewer (instead of the
- unhinted type1 fonts currently used in GhostScript) or on a printer
- that has no PostScript interpreter.
-
- In order to use the ps2pk generated fonts your driver and previewer need
- to support virtual fonts. The reason is that PostScript fonts and TeX
- fonts do have a different font encoding and handle ligatures in a
- different way. With virtual fonts the PostScript world (encoding +
- ligatures) can be mapped to the old style TeX world on which the current
- plain macro packages still are based (despite the fact that TeX3.0 can
- handle 8bits).
-
- It is also possible to use the ps2pk generated PK fonts directly
-
- In addition, a modified version of PS2PK exists on ibis.cs.umass.edu. I
- have added some hacks to better support really large renderings and a
- primitive "range" facility.
-
- 2. TeX Utilities
-
- There are many TeX font utilities. For TeX related questions, I direct
- you to comp.text.tex or the Info-TeX mailing list. I will happily list
- any utilities here that the comp.fonts public feels should be present.
- I am listing MetaFont because it is the obvious font-specific component
- of TeX and PKtoSFP because it allows anyone to use PS2PK to create
- LaserJet softfonts.
-
- Liam R. E. Quin <lee@sq.com> is the original author of the MetaFont
- section. It has been hacked at a bit by norm to make it fit the tone
- of the comp.fonts FAQ. Assume that norm is responsible for any errors,
- not Liam.
-
- 2.1. MetaFont
-
- 2.1.1. 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.
-
- 2.1.2. What do 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 are using TeX, the sequence of steps is something like
- this:
-
- MF -> metafont -> GF [ convert MetaFont program
- TFM into a bitmapped font ]
-
- GF -> gftopk -> PK [ represent the bitmapped font
- efficiently ]
-
- TEX -> tex -> DVI [ convert TeX document into
- TFM device independent output ]
-
- DVI -> dvi2xxx -> XXX [ convert DVI to output device
- PK format ]
-
- XXX -> printer -> hardcopy [ print the dvi2xxx output ]
-
- The above steps are idealized. In reality, you have to make sure
- that the fonts get installed in the correct places and you may
- have to adjust description files, etc. The friendly folks on
- comp.text.tex can probably get it staightened out for you if you
- can't find a local guru.
-
- If you are not using TeX, it's almost impossible to predict. At
- some point in the above sequence, you'll insert some other
- conversion program and proceed differently. Here, for example, is
- how you might use TeX fonts with WordPerfect and a LaserJet
- printer.
-
- PK -> PKtoSFP -> SFP [ PK to LaserJet softfont ]
-
- SFP -> SFP2Auto -> TFM [ Make HP AutoFont TFM file ]
-
- SFP -> PTR -> installation [ Install the fonts into WP ]
- TFM
-
- Use WordPerfect as you normally would.
-
- 2.1.3. 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-3.0
- ftp: ftp.cs.toronto.edu [128.100.1.105] pub/psroff-3.0/*
-
- 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:
-
- 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) 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.
-
- 2.1.4. 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 (ajcd@cs.ed.ac.uk). 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 (ophelp@tamvenus.bitnet) has some conversion programs
- for various graphics formats to/and from pk files.
-
- A PC program, CAPTURE, turns HPGL files into PK format, US$130
- from Micro Programs Inc., 251 Jackson Ave., Syosset, NY 11791
- U.S.A.
-
- Metaplot can take pen-plotter files and prouce metafont files;
- contact wilcox@cis.ohio-state.edu
-
- Kinch Cmputer Company sell .pk fonts derived from PostScript
- fonts. Kinch Computer Co., 501 S. Meadow St.Ithaca, NY 14850
- U.S.A. telephone: +1 607 273 0222; fax: +1 607 273 0484
-
- 2.1.5. 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 was almost certainly
-
- mims-iris.waterloo.edu
-
- but it isn't any more, the fonts have all gone. Let me know if
- you find them elsewhere. Most people seem to have moved to using
- PostScript fonts or Bitstream ones instead now.
-
- Some other sites 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.
-
- 2.1.6. 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
-
- mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu
-
- 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.
-
- 2.2. PKtoSFP/SFPtoPK
-
- Convert fonts from TeX PK format to HP LaserJet (bitmap) format.
-
- 2.3. Metafont -> PostScript conversion
-
- There are (I believe) two programs that perform this task. At
- least one of them is called "mf2ps". If you have any more
- information about these tools, please let me know.
-
- 2.4. PostScript -> Metafont
-
- There is at least one tool for this purpose. I believe that it
- is called "ps2mf". If you have any more information about
- these tools, please let me know.
-
- 2.5. PKtoPS
-
- Included in the psroff distribution, this utility converts PK
- fonts into PostScript fonts (bitmaps, I presume). If you have
- any more information about these tools, please let me know.
-
- 2.6. PKtoBDF / MFtoBDF
-
- From the SeeTeX distribution, programs to help previewers under
- X11.
-
- 3. MFpic
-
- MFpic is a macro package for including pictures in TeX documents. The idea
- behind this package is to have Metafont do the actual drawing, and store the
- pictures in a font that TeX can include in the document. The macros have
- been designed so that the user should never have to learn Metafont to use
- these macros -- the TeX macros actually write the Metafont file for you.
-
- 4. GNU Font Utilities
-
- Here is a brief description of the programs included:
-
- * imageto extracts a bitmap font from an image in PBM or IMG format, or
- converts the image to Encapsulated PostScript.
-
- * xbfe is a hand-editor for bitmap fonts which runs under X11.
-
- * charspace adds side bearings to a bitmap font.
-
- * limn fits outlines to bitmap characters.
-
- * bzrto converts a generic outline font to Metafont or PostScript.
-
- * gsrenderfont renders a PostScript outline font at a particular point
- size and resolution, yielding a bitmap font.
-
- * fontconvert can rearrange or delete characters in a bitmap font,
- filter them, split them into pieces, combine them, etc., etc.
-
- * imgrotate rotates or flips an IMG file.
-
- We need volunteers to help create fonts for the GNU project. You do not
- need to be an expert type designer to help, but you do need to know enough
- about TeX and/or PostScript to be able to install and test new fonts.
- Example: if you know neither (1) the purpose of TeX utility program `gftopk'
- nor (2) what the PostScript `scalefont' command does, you probably need more
- experience before you can help.
-
- If you can volunteer, the first step is to compile the font utilities.
- After that, contact me (karl@gnu.ai.mit.edu). I will get you a scanned type
- specimen image. The manual explains how to use these utilities to turn that
- into a font you can use in TeX or PostScript.
-
- You can get the source by ftp from
- prep.ai.mit.edu [18.71.0.38]:pub/gnu/fontutils-0.5.tar.Z.
-
- And also from these other sites around the world; please check them
- before prep.

- (thereby supporting the GNU project); send mail to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu for
- the latest prices and ordering information, or retrieve the file DISTRIB
- from a GNU archive.
-
- 5. Font editors
-
- - BDF -
-
- There is a bdf font editor that comes with HP/Apollo workstations. It's
- called 'edfont'. It's not the best but it works.
-
- - PK -
-
- The GNU font utilities include an X-based editor called Xbfe which edits
- bitmapped fonts under X.
-
- Eberhard Mattes' emTeX includes PKedit.
-
- 6. t1utils
-
- This is a snippet from the README file for I. Lee Hetherington's
- <ilh@lcs.mit.edu> t1utils package:
-
- t1utils is a collection of simple type-1 font manipulation programs.
- Together, they allow you to convert between PFA (ASCII) and PFB
- (binary) formats, disassemble PFA or PFB files into human-readable
- form, reassemble them into PFA or PFB format. Additionally you can
- extract font resources from a Macintosh font file (ATM/Laserwriter).

-
- FAQ for comp.fonts: Part Appendix A: Vendor List
-
- Version 1.0.0, Release 02OCT92
-
- Welcome to the comp.fonts FAQ. This article, posted monthly, describes many
- of the basic questions that seem to be repeated frequently on comp.fonts.
- Your comments are both welcome and encouraged.
-
- The FAQ is divided into sections. The first section is a general overview.
- The remaining sections are more-or-less platform specific. The FAQ is posted
- in pieces to avoid clobbering news and/or mail gateways that are incapable
- of handling arbitrarily large items.
-
- The sections are:
-
- Part I: General Info
- Part II: Macintosh-specific Info
- Part III: MS-DOS-specific Info
- Part IV: *nix-specific Info
- Part V: Sun-specific Info
- Part VI: NeXT-specifc Info
- Part VII: X-specific Info
- Part VIII: Font utilities
-
- Even if you don't use a particular architecture, you may find it helpful to
- read the FAQ for that platform at least once. Some ideas, like font format
- conversion, may be relevant to more than one platform even if they are
- expressed in platform-specific tools at this time.
-
- After the FAQ is more stable, monthly DIFFs will be posted as well as the
- complete FAQ.
-
- Masumi Abe <abe@adobe.com> contributed the following list of commercial
- font vendors. Since a number of people have suggested other vendors for
- fonts (both commercial and shareware), I have taken the liberty of merging
- those suggestions into a single vendor list. If there are any errors in
- the following list, please blame norm <walsh@cs.umass.edu>, not Masumi.
-
- I've made some effort to continue Masumi's annotations regarding available
- font types, platforms, and languages. Innacuracies and ommisions are
- both present and accidental. Updates are always welcome.
