- Norm Walsh <walsh@cs.umass.edu> (who has my best wishes in his
- "study-for-comps" semester) forwarded me a new version of his popular
- SFPtoPK. From Norm:
-
- SFPtoPK version 2.1(beta) fixes a small bug in SFPtoPK v2.00.
- If you tried to convert a font that was _both_ small enough
- to fit entirely in memory _and_ had a header shorter than 64
- bytes, SFPtoPK v2.00 would miss the first character in the
- font. The only fonts that I have seen that have a header
- smaller than 64 bytes are old LJ+ softfonts. Unfortunately,
- the PCX2FONT program creates this style of header. My
- apologies for the inconvienience. If you have any trouble,
- please let me know...
-
- The files are available via e-mail as a 6 part UUENCODEd ZIP archive by
- including:
- SENDME SPFONTWARE.SF2PK21B*
- in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
- The file SF2PK21B.ZIP is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from
- Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.SPFONTWARE].
-
- The SPFONTWARE package and directory also includes the rest of Norm's
- convenient utilities to convert Hewlett-Packard softfonts to *and* from
- TeX PK/TFM format. For more information on the files via e-mail, include:
- DIRECTORY SPFONTWARE
- in a mail message to FILESERV. Users of anonymous ftp may retrieve the
- description file (SPFONTWARE.DESCRIPTION) from Niord in the directory
- [FILESERV].

- Regards and best wishes to Norm, George
