Environment for Translating MET AFONT to POSTSCRIPT

This paper describes a program, mf2ps, that translates a METAFONT font definition into a definition for the same font in the POSTSCRIPT language. mf2ps is constructed out of the part of the METAFONT program that extracts the envelopes of the letters; these envelopes are converted into POSTSCRIPT outlines.

A Metafont–eps Interface

The paper illustrates this statement by presenting a brief description of an interface for METAFONT-to-PostScript, MFTOEPS. The kernel of the package is a METAFONT program (MFTOEPS.MF) which provides necessary definitions for translating the description of graphic objects from METAFONT to PostScript. The PostScript code is written to a log file. It can be extracted from the log file either manu...

Parametrization of PostScript fonts through METAFONT: an Alternative to Adobe Multiple Master Fonts

In this paper we present a new method of parametrizing PostScript fonts in order to create font families. By changing parameter values one can obtain different weights, condensed or expanded versions, small caps as well as optically scaled fonts. The tool used to parametrize PostScript fonts is D. E. Knuth’s METAFONT program. Instead of designing a font from scratch, METAFONT is used as an extr...

Generating Type 1 Fonts from METAFONT Sources

Nowadays most Printers demand PostScript files with scalable fonts instead of bitmapped fonts, as the later are not adequate for most cases. In addition, PDF files generated from PostScript files with embedded bitmapped fonts are poorly rendered on a computer screen. On the other hand, traditionally, PostScript files generated from TEX sources contained bitmapped fonts just because METAFONT gen...

Paradigms: Just a little bit of PostScript

It is all about creating EPS—with graphics— to be merged with (La)TEX scripts. The emphasis is on creating raw PostScript for simple symmetrical pictures. Asides, like incorporating accurate graphs of math functions, typesetting text along curved paths, or tables set sideways, next to reverse video, clipping and tiling have been addressed. A poor man’s mftoeps approach is touched upon: (declara...
