mftrace - Scalable PostScript Fonts for MetaFont
mftrace is a small Python program that lets you trace a TeX bitmap
font into a PFA or PFB font (A PostScript Type1 Scalable Font) or
TTF (TrueType) font. mftrace is a thin Python wrapper around some
other programs that do the real work: a tracing program and t1asm.
Dependencies:
* A tracing program
autotrace >= 0.30 (http://autotrace.sourceforge.net)
or potrace (http://potrace.sourceforge.net)
Potrace is recommended as it runs quicker than autotrace, and it
is also available from SlackBuilds.org.
* Python 2.1 or later (http://www.python.org/)
* t1utils (http://www.lcdf.org/~eddietwo/type/)
* TeX - your TeX installation should include kpsewhich and MetaFont
* FontForge is recommended.
