dvips: Invoking afm2tfm

 
 6.3 Invoking Afm2tfm
 ====================
 
 The Afm2tfm program converts an AFM file for a PostScript font to a TFM
 file and a VPL file for a corresponding virtual font (or, in its
 simplest form, to a TFM file for the PostScript font itself).  The
 results of the conversion are affected by the command-line options and
 especially by the reencodings you can specify with those options.  You
 can also obtain special effects such as an oblique font.
 
    Alternatives to Afm2tfm for creating virtual fonts include 'fontinst'
 <https://ctan.org/pkg/fontinst>, 'lcdf-typetools', particularly
 'otftotfm' (<https://ctan.org/pkg/lcdf-typetools>), and 'afm2pl'
 (<http://tex.aanhet.net/afm2pl/>), among others.
