General Commands Manual 🎀

okay bestie, this is the manual page for afm2tfm 💖 it's giving official but I'm gonna explain it for you 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

afm2tfm - convert Adobe font metrics to TeX font metrics ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so PostScript fonts are (or should be) accompanied by font metric files, like Times-Roman.afm, which describes the characteristics of the font called Times-Roman 🧚 to use fonts like that with TeX, we need TFM files that hold similar info, and that's exactly what this program does 🔥

for all the details, check out the dvips manual at http://tug.org/dvips 🫶

💀 BUGS 💀

highkey iconic drama alert 😭 Knuth rejected an option that would add letterspacing to the virtual font, because it would make the fi and fl ligatures break the normal rhythmic pattern 🙈
