- The mf2ps program is written by Shimon Yanai and Daniel M. Berry and described
- in TUGboat v11n4. In a previous post I mistakingly attributed it to John
- Hobby, but he wrote METAPOST. Anyway, mf2ps does indeed rely on suntools and
- it renders Type 3 output, which, as Bertold Horn wrote me, is quite lengthy.
