NAME

   afm2tfm - convert Adobe font metrics to TeX font metrics

DESCRIPTION

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

   For all the details, see the dvips manual (http://tug.org/dvips).

FILES

   psfonts.map in the config directory used by dvips.

SEE ALSO

   dvips(1), tex(1), vptovf(1), fontinst(1), afm2pl(1), otftotfm(1)

BUGS

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