Whoops. Forgot to include the README with the first post.

I have uploaded the file tekton4tex.tar.Z to the submissions directory
on sonata.cc.purdue.edu. It contains files that enable the use of
Adobe's Tekton font with the NeXT's TeX implementation, or any
implementation that uses Tom Rockicki's dvips. The README file is
appended to this article. Although the README file does not mention it,
these files would be rather useful as a template or guide for anyone
wishing to use other Postscript fonts with TeX.

====README.tekton4tek

This directory contains files that enable the use of Adobe's Tekton font
in TeX and LaTeX on the NeXT computer and other machines using Tom
Rockicki's dvips.

The files are useless unless you have a legitimate copy of the Tekton
font.

The makefile builds tfm and vf files from Adobe's afm files. It has an
install option. Be sure the paths are right for your setup, and that you
won't write over any information you need to keep, before you run it.
This install will write over your psfonts.map and psfonts.sty files, so
BEWARE! I have followed the standard font-naming conventions.

Any LaTeX style files in this directory assume you are using the New
Font Selection Scheme. This is *not* distributed with the NeXT; you will
have to pick it up from an archive (see below). If you get this, you
will also want psfonts.tar.Z.

I have included some example files:
 tekton-sample-plain.tex
 tekton-sample-latex.tex
 semteksampl.tex            (requires seminar.tar.Z)

The file tekton-font-height.tex calculates the x-height of Tekton. This
information was used to construct psfonts.sty and semtek.sty. See
npsfont.sty for the reason why x-height font scaling is useful.

NeXT TeX versions I used:
 dvips 5.485
 texview a9

Other packages I have used, all available by anonymous ftp:
  latex nfss 92.03.25 by Mittelbach and Schoepf, rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de
  psfonts.tar.Z by dmjones@theory.lcs.mit.edu
  seminar.tar.Z by tvz@princeton.edu
