- This program adds sidebearings to a bitmap font, and outputs a revised
- bitmap font and a TFM file. It reads several auxiliary ``character
- metric information'' (CMI) files to determine the side bearings.
-
- The ideas behind the CMI files are based on Harry Smith's (Linotype)
- principles, as explicated by Walter Tracy in his book `Letters of
- Credit'. (A book we highly recommend for those interested in type.)
