shortdesc Utilities to derive new fonts from existing ones.
longdesc The accfonts package contains three utilities to permit easy
longdesc manipulation of fonts, in particular the creation of unusual
longdesc accented characters. Mkt1font works on Adobe Type 1 fonts,
longdesc vpl2vpl works on TeX virtual fonts and vpl2ovp transforms a TeX
longdesc font to an Omega one. All three programs read in a font (either
longdesc the font itself or a property list), together with a simple
longdesc definition file containing lines such as '128 z acute'; they
longdesc then write out a new version of the font with the requested new
longdesc characters in the numerical slots specified. Great care is
longdesc taken over the positioning of accents, and over the provision
longdesc of kerning information for new characters; mkt1font also
longdesc generates suitable "hints" to enhance quality at small sizes or
longdesc poor resolutions. The programs are written in Perl.
