Hi there. Forgive me if this is a dumb schmuck question - I know very little about postscript. What I would like to know is is there any software which can convert Postscript fonts into TeX pk and tfm files, or (even better), MetaFONT descriptions? There seem to be some interesting Posctscript fonts around, and I'd like to use them in TeX. Graham Wheeler | "Don't bother me, Data Network Architectures Lab| I'm reading a `Crisis'!"

Either way, you don't usually convert Postscript fonts to PK's, you simply use them as is (though you may have to figger out how to build TFM's). As far as MetaFONT, you're out of luck. Psroff 2.0 has code to convert PK's into SFP's and Postscript, but not vice-versa. -- Chris Lewis, Phone: (613) 832-0541 UUCP: uunet!utai!lsuc!ecicrl!clewis Moderator of the Ferret Mailing List (ferret-request@eci386) Psroff mailing list (psroff-request@eci386)
