- STOP PRESS:
- UNKNOWN is no longer functioning as an archive
- for Metafont files.
- Please do not mail me asking how to get the files from it.
- Please don't mail Don Hosek, either.
-
- You can try looking on one of the CTAN sites. If you can't file the
- file there, try archie. If you find a file that I have marked as UNKNOWN,
- please do let me know so we can help other people.

- Many, many thanks.

- Summary of Metafont Fonts Available (Approximate Digest Format)
-
- This list includes all known fonts available in metafont format, whether
- public domain or not. Archive sites for ftp are listed where known.
- There is also a BITNET archive at LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU.
-
- This list is formatted as a sort-of-digest so you can skip through
- it easily (e.g. use control-G in rn).
-
- I have deleted the information on using fonts, as there's now an FAQ
- for comp.fonts. Please note that I don't use TeX, and can't answer
- questions about it. But I always welcome additions to this list.

- Subject: About Metafont
-
- Metafont is a programming language for describing fonts. It was written
- by Donald Knuth and is documented in
- Computers & Typesetting/C: The METAFONTbook
- Knuth, Donald E.
- Addison Wesley, 1986
- ISBN 0-201-13445-4, or 0-201-13444-6 (soft cover)
- Library access: Z250.8.M46K58, or 686.2'24, or 85-28675.
-
- A font written in Metafont is actually a computer program which, when run,
- will generate a bitmap (`raster') for a given typeface at a given size,
- for some particular device.
-
- In order to use a metfont format font, you'll need to have metafont, or
- a program such as mf2ps. See the comp.fonts FAQ for more information.
-
-
- Subject: AMS (see also under Euler)
-
- The American Mathematical Society has adopted TeX, and has had some fonts
- designed especially by Herman Zapf. These are known as the Euler fonts,
- and are described below. The Metafont sources are now available by ftp.
-
- NOTE that you should build these using virmf, or at least with a version
- of Matafont that does not have cmbase pre-loaded. You may also get
- errors reported when building some of the smaller sizes -- simply press
- return.
-
- There are
- * AMS Euler -- a calligraphic font. This is not suitable as it stands for
- text use in TeX, partly because it has a non-standard encoding, and
- parly because it was not designed as a text face.
- * AMS extra maths symbols
- * AMS computer modern extensions
- * AMS Cyrillic (this is the same as University of Washington Cyrillic)
-
- There is also some documentation.
-
- You can get them from the AMS directly:
- ftp: e-math.ams.com /ams/amsfonts/sources
- ftp: ftp.dante.de , compressed tar in soft/tex/ams/
- Any (infrequent) changes to these fonts happen on e-math first.
-

- Subject: Committee
-
- This was produced during a workshop tutorial given by Donald Knuth.
- This is said (by Don Hosek, whom I trust in such things) to be hard-wired
- for the APS typesetter... It is described in Tugboat Vol. 5 No. 2 (Nov. 84).
-
- ftp: UNKNOWN; cd [anonymous.tex.mf.misc]
- ftp: files are font1.mf and font1base.mf
-
-
- Subject: Computer Modern
-
- Computer Modern is Donald Knuth's font family used for his later
- `Art of Computer Programming' books. It contains
- cmr -- computer modern roman
- cmmi -- computer modern maths italic
- cmti -- computer modern text italic
- cmb -- computer modern bold
- cmss -- computer modern sans serif
- Cmtt -- computer modern typewriter
- cmvtt -- computer modern variable-spaced typewriter
- and several variations on each of the above (e.g. bold extended...).
- There are also some experimental fonts, such as cmff, a `funny' font, and
- cmfib, a font based on Fibonacci numbers.
-
- These are all included in a standard TeX distribution, although I only know
- of one site archiving the metafont files seperately. The official TeX
- distribution site is labrea.stanford.edu:
-
- ftp: labrea.stanford.edu cd pub/tex/cm
-
- Many TeX ftp archive sites also give access to the bitmaps (pk files),
- although you usually have to get them all at once.
-
- There is also a reparameterised version of CM by John Sauter, which makes
- it easy to generate fonts at desired sizes-- this is especially useful for
- non-TeX users.
-
- ftp: UNKNOWN; cd [anonymous.tex.mf.cm.sauter]
- See also: Babel, Sauter
-
- There is also a Pica typewriter font -- italic and bold come out with
- straight and wavy underlines (respectively), however. This is in
- ftp: UNKNOWN; cd [anonymous.tex.mf.cm.pica]
-
- Versions of these fonts suitable for use with an X Windows previewer (xtex
- and SeeTeX) are available from
- ftp: foobar.colorado.edu pub/SeeTeX
-
- A variant of CMTT with 8-bit characters for the Mac is available for US$20
- from yannis@frcitl81.BITNET -- this is called MACTT. Mf source is included.
-

- Subject: Old English
-
- Note On Terminology:
- Old English is a language spoken by the Anglo-Saxons in Britain up
- until the first half or so of the 12th century. It is used to refer
- to fonts used for setting the Old English language.
- The term `Old English' is also used to mean the Black Letter fonts
- used by mediaeval scribes, and called Gothic. Unfortunately, some
- American typefounding companies use `Gothic' to mean `sans-serif'.
- Both the Anglo-Saxon character sets and the ornamental Black Letter
- fonts are listed here.
-
- Julian Bradfield's font for typesetting Old English in TeX -- this supplies
- extra characters for Computer Modern. The extra characters are eth, Eth,
- Thorn, thorn, yogh, Yogh and Polish ogonek. There are two styles of thorn,
- but I note that there is no wynn. You may have to create an empty file, or
- rename a file -- I forget exactly what I had to do. Some of these characters
- can also be found in the International Phonetic Alphabet font as well, but
- Julian's are much more convenient for working with Old English.
-
- Yannis' Fraktur fonts in [anonymous.tex.babel.german] include ygoth,
- which can be used as an Old English Black Letter.
