NAME
afm2tfm - convert Adobe font metrics to TeX font metrics
DESCRIPTION
PostScript fonts are (or should be) accompanied by font metric files
such as Times-Roman.afm, which describes the characteristics of the font
called Times-Roman. To use such fonts with TeX, we need TFM files that
contain similar information. This program does that conversion. For
more information, print out the dvips manual.
FILES
_p_s_f_o_n_t_s._m_a_p in the config directory used by dvips (update this).
../_a_f_m/_M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e in the dvips sources (look at this for examples).
SEE ALSO
dvips(1), tex(1), vptovf(1)
BUGS
An option to add letterspacing to the virtual font was rejected by Knuth
because it would make the fi and fl ligatures break the normal rhythmic
pattern.
