The original METAFONT sources were automatically converted to PFB using Peter Szabo's TeXtrace <http://www.inf.bme.hu/~pts/textrace/> package, and subsequently edited using George Williams' PfaEdit PostScript font editor <http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net/>. The AFM files were also automatically created by PfaEdit. Peterlin notes that a direct conversion from the TeX font metrics to Adobe font metric files might yield better results. To use these Type 1 fonts, copy the contents of dvng.map to psfonts.map, or modify the dvips config.ps file to reference the file. Anshuman Pandey 20 March 2002 thanks for the upload.
