GENERATING TFM/PK FONTS FOR TeX/LaTeX ===================================== [This is makefonts release 2.0, 07 Nov 1999] Although contemporary TeX-systems support automatic generation of tfm and pk files from metafont sources, which is a very convenient feature indeed, I still prefer to have a set of basic fonts already on a system. I find this useful in a server-client environment where I do not want to make the texmf tree writable, and where I would like to avoid fonts being generated in /tmp/ on each individual client. This package contains a set of Unix shell scripts which generate a LaTeX document and run dvips on it, causing all fonts used to be generated. Files are derived from a script called allcm, which may have come from teTeX (there is no author in there), and which is not on CTAN. allcm misses some fonts, so I include it for convenience/reference, but make_cm should be used instead. The files in the distribution are: 00previous The previous makefonts distribution. Not all scripts have been converted, so the info therein might still be useful.
