NAME

6       afm2tfm - convert Adobe font metrics to TeX font metrics
7

DESCRIPTION

9       PostScript  fonts  are  (or should be) accompanied by font metric files
10       such as Times-Roman.afm, which describes  the  characteristics  of  the
11       font called Times-Roman.  To use such fonts with TeX, we need TFM files
12       that contain similar information. This program does that conversion.

BUGS

23       An option to add letterspacing to the  virtual  font  was  rejected  by
24       Knuth  because  it  would make the fi and fl ligatures break the normal
25       rhythmic pattern.
