[comp.fonts] Creating TeX fonts from scratch

jwhiting@cdp.UUCP (01/30/91)

How does one go about creating a TeX font frmom scractch?  Arethere there 
such things as TeX font editors, similar to Fontographer on the Mac?

Better yet, ist there a way to convert existing Type !1 PostScript fonts 
to TeX?  If you haven't guessed by now, I have some some Type  1 's I'd like 
to port to asother platorforms.

adTHANKSvance,

TeX *has no preconceptions about fonts* - the fact that it comes with
Metafont and .pk files and all that is irrelevant
