NAME
       afm2tfm - convert Adobe font metrics to TeX font metrics

DESCRIPTION
       PostScript fonts are (or should be) accompanied by font metric files such as Times-Roman.afm,
       which describes the characteristics of the font called Times-Roman.  To use such  fonts  with
       TeX, we need TFM files that contain similar information. This program does that conversion.

       For all the details, see the dvips manual (http://tug.org/dvips).

FILES
       psfonts.map in the config directory used by dvips.

SEE ALSO

BUGS
       An  option  to  add  letterspacing to the virtual font was rejected by Knuth because it would
       make the fi and fl ligatures break the normal rhythmic pattern.
