Can anybody explain to me what are the different font formats for tex and related programs (latex, xdvi, dvi2ps, gs, etc.). I seem to have lots of .tfm and .pk files, but often I get error messages that I am missing fonts. Is there one exhaustive place where all the fonts are kept? What is the difference between pk300 and pk300w fonts? What are gf and mf fonts? Why are there so many different formats? Which format is best (I can't keep them all, too much disk space)? questioningly yours, --andy s.
