       afm2tfm - convert Adobe font metrics to TeX font metrics

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       PostScript  fonts  are  (or should be) accompanied by font
       metric files such as TTiimmeess--RRoommaann..aaffmm,, which describes  the
       characteristics  of  the  font called Times-Roman.  To use
       such fonts with TeX, we need TFM files that contain  simi-
       lar  information.  This program does that conversion.  For
       more information, print out the dvips manual.

       _p_s_f_o_n_t_s_._m_a_p in the config directory used by dvips  (update

       _._._/_a_f_m_/_M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e  in  the  dvips  sources (look at this for
       examples).

BBUUGGSS
       An option to add letterspacing to  the  virtual  font  was
       rejected by Knuth because it would make the fi and fl lig-
       atures break the normal rhythmic pattern.
