mf2pt1
package.
Summary description: Produce PostScript Type 1 fonts from Metafont source. License type: lppl
Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
mf2pt1 facilitates producing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a Metafont source file. mf2pt1's advantage over tools such as TeXtrace and mftrace is that it does not rely on bitmap tracing and therefore can produce higher-quality Type 1 fonts than trace-based tools. The catch is that mf2pt1 imposes a number of restrictions on the Metafont input so it is not, as the name may imply, an automatic converter of arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format.
Version 2.5 fixes a pair of bugs that led to glyph widths being slightly larger than intended. Thanks to Michael Ummels for the corrections.
