Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
mf2pt1
package.
Version number: 2.7 License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Convert stylized Metafont to PostScript Type 1
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 2.7 of mf2pt1 supports new --output-dir and --save-temps options for controlling where intermediate and output files are written and if intermediate files should be retained after execution completes. It also allows helper programs (mpost, t1asm, and fontforge) to be overridden, including with arguments, via environment variables.
Thanks to Werner Lemberg for his suggestions for and contributions to this new release.
