         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.
