I assume tools to produce X11 bdf fonts from Metafont gf files exist, since I've seen cmr fonts on our Sun X systems. Can anyone tell me where to find such tools? Thanks in advance. Gardner Cohen sun!athsys!gardner

The program you are looking for is called gfto and came with the X11R2
contributed software. Below are patches to make it work a bit better.
Thanks in advance.
You're welcome.
