The afm2tfm program is distributed with dvips, from labrea.stanford.edu. If you are using a pre-VF TeX, you should get dvips4.21 and use its afm2tfm, since that version remaps the PostScript characters to conform more closely to what LaTeX and plain TeX expect. If you are running a VF-cognizant TeX, get dvips5.01 (or later) and use that afm2tfm, since it will generate the appropriate VF files for the remapping. -tom

I'm currently trying to make a downloaded postscript font available within
OZTeX. What I've worked out so far is that I need to create a tfm file from
an Adobe font metric file. What I have is a mac file which seems to be
Fontographer output containing a PS font called LaserLondon. Whilst there
is no sign of a afm file I presume this information is buried inaccessably
in the data fork of the file. This presumption is based on the fact I can
use the font without problems within Word 4.
Has anyone else done this and prepared to pass on their experience?
Does anyone have a mac application or unix tool to do what I want?
I've experimented with a small application from MacTeX but it seems to
want a specific afm file and can't deal with the font file I have.
My guess is that similar problems are encountered with any implementation
of TeX trying to include postscript fonts.
Thanks, in advance, for any help. (Even if it's RTFM, as long as the
manual is specified)
