Copyright I. Description of the ps4mf-package ------------------------------------ In order to use Postscript-Type1-fonts for TeX without any special encoding scheme (like dc, ec, nfss) you now can convert your favourite postscript-font to Metafont-readable files. This postscript-font has to be encoded in the "AdobeStandardEncoding- scheme". The output is a metafont-file in stardard-computer-modern encoding like the cm-family. You also can get dc-encoding, just choose right conversion routine (see below at chapter III.). This package is based on the ps2mf-package of the authors: Marcel Dings (original idea of the ps2mf-package) and Erik-Jan Vens (new ps2mf.exe 2.0). [...] For more look into the package! [...] VI. WHERE TO GET FONTS: ----------------------- (a) To get a nice listings, character-pictures and ftp-connections of fonts try WWW with mosaic/netscape/etc.: CTAN at WWW: http://jasper.ora.com/ There is a fontpage which allows to look at fonts and download them directly! (b) You can get postscript-fonts via anonymous ftp at - ftp.uni-stuttgart.de (mirror of hobbes.nmsu.edu) /pub/systems/os2/hobbes-mirror/multimed/fonts - ftp.uni-freiburg.de /pc/os2/atmfonts - ftp obelix.icce.rug.nl /pub/erikjan/fonts/type.one.fonts /pub/erikjan/fonts/BitStream - garbo.uwasa.fi /pc/fonts - Attention: utopia.zip - metafont problems! If you look into the .mf file after using conv_gho you find several hundred lines sprinkled randomly about the file containing only a right parenthesis. When you delete these lines, Metafont runs without a problem and you now have a Utopia font. VII.
