Summary : Help with installing fonts for TeX and LaTeX
URL : http://tug.org/texlive/
License : LPPL
Description : TeX macros for converting Adobe Font Metric files to TeX metric
: and virtual font format. Fontinst helps mainly with the number
: crunching and shovelling parts of font installation. This means
: in practice that it creates a number of files which give the
: TeX metrics (and related information) for a font family that
: (La)TeX needs to do any typesetting in these fonts. Fontinst
: furthermore makes it easy to create fonts containing glyphs
: from more than one base font, taking advantage of (e.g.)
: "expert" font sets. Fontinst cannot examine files to see if
: they contain any useful information, nor automatically search
: for files or work with binary file formats; those tasks must
: normally be done manually or with the help of some other tool,
: such as the pltotf and vptovf programs.
