Summary : A system for specifying fonts
URL : http://tug.org/texlive/
License : Knuth
Description : The program takes a semi-algorithmic specification of a font,
: and produces a bitmap font (whose properties are defined by a
: set of parameters of the target device), and a set metrics for
: use by TeX. The bitmap output may be converted into a format
: directly usable by a device driver, etc., by the tools provided
: in the parallel mfware distribution. (Third parties have
: developed tools to convert the bitmap output to outline fonts.)
: The distribution includes the source of Knuth's Metafont book;
: this source is there to read, as an example of writing TeX --
: it should not be processed without Knuth's direct permission.
