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.

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.
