GNU Font Utilities

.short
Utility package to manipulate fonts.
.description
You can manipulate fonts in various ways using the utilities:
conversion of a scanned image to a bitmap font, hand-editing of
bitmaps, conversion of a bitmap font to an outline font, and more.
More generally, you can start with a scanned image of artwork and work
your way through to a finished font with side bearings, accented
characters, ligatures, and so on.
The font formats recognized by these programs are primarily those used
by the (freely available) TeX typesetting system developed by Donald
E. Knuth from 1977--1990. The filenames, font searching, and other
aspects of their usage are also based on TeX. They also support
output of PostScript Type 1 fonts.
