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  conver-
       sion.  For more information, print out the dvips manual.

FILES
       psfonts.map in the config directory used by dvips (update this).
       ../afm/Makefile in the dvips sources (look at this for examples).

SEE ALSO
       dvips(1), tex(1), vptovf(1)

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.
