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 some 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 2.4.5 incorporates a bug fix from Werner Lemberg that prevents non-INT arguments from being passed to hsbw in the definition of .notdef. If you have been receiving unknown charstring command messages from t1asm and/or Stack underflow on hsbw in .notdef messages from FontForge, you should upgrade to this version of mf2pt1.
