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