CTAN update: mf2pt1
Scott Pakin submitted an update to the mf2pt1 package. Version number: 2.5a License type: lppl Summary description: Produce PostScript Type 1 fonts from Metafont source. Announcement text: -- mf2pt1 facilitates producing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a Metafont source file. mf2pt1's advantage over tools such as TeXtrace and mftrace is that it does not rely on bitmap tracing and therefore can produce higher-quality Type 1 fonts than trace-based tools. The catch is that mf2pt1 imposes a number of restrictions on the Metafont input so it is not, as the name may imply, an automatic converter of arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format. Version 2.5a is simply a documentation update in preparation for TeX Live 2014. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/mf2pt1 More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/mf2pt1 We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

The catch is that mf2pt1 imposes a number of restrictions on the Metafont input so it is not, as the name may imply, an automatic converter of arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format. Version 2.5 fixes a pair of bugs that led to glyph widths being slightly larger than intended.

The catch is that mf2pt1 imposes some restrictions on the Metafont input so it is not, as the name may imply, an automatic converter of arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format. Version 2.4.5 incorporates a bug fix from Werner Lemberg that prevents non-integer arguments from being passed to hsbw in the definition of ".notdef". If you have been receiving "unknown charstring command" messages from t1asm and/or "Stack underflow on hsbw in .notdef" messages from FontForge, you should upgrade to this version of mf2pt1. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/mf2pt1 .
