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). Type1 fonts offer many
|
|
advantages over bitmaps, as they allow PostScript files to render correctly on
|
|
printers with many resolutions. Moreover, Ghostscript can generate much
|
|
better PDF, if given scalable fonts.

|
|
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.
|
|
* t1utils (also available at SlackBuilds.org)
|
|
* FontForge is recommended.
