## 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 more information, print out the dvips manual.

## FILES

psfonts.map in the config directory used by dvips (update this).
../afm/Makefile in the dvips sources (look at this for examples).

## SEE ALSO

dvips(1), tex(1), vptovf(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.
