  Announcing ttf2pk
  -----------------

  I've just uploaded the FreeType package version 1.2 to ftp.dante.de which
  contains, among other contributions, a TrueType font to PK resp. TFM
  converter. It fully supports ordinary and CJK TrueType fonts.

  Binaries for DOS resp. OS/2 are available also.

  The final destination directory on CTAN is fonts/utilities/ttf2pk

  It will be available soon on the other CTAN hosts (ftp.tex.ac.uk and
  ctan.tug.org) and its mirrors -- to get a list of mirrors use the command
  `finger ctan@...'.

  Below is the documentation file -- the latest version of FreeType (a daily
  snapshot of our CVS repository) can be found in
  ftp://ftp.freetype.org/pub/freetype/devel/freetype-current.tar.gz

  Happy TeXing!

      Werner

euro: i'll just sit here and wait until our politicians can bring
themselves to do something ever so slightly out of the ordinary ;-)
