Hello everybody,

I'm using for a short time DMxxx.tfm instead of CMxxx.tfm with emTeX in
order to get correct hyphenation for accented french words. Dvi-files
built with these "virtual fonts" have then to be converted with a special
tool into the normal CM-dvi-files (in order to be printed with the classic
CM-fonts).

Now I would like to know:
1. Does there exist any documentation about virtual fonts ?
2. Is the coding scheme of DM-fonts exactly the same as for the extended
   DC-fonts ?
3. How to tell METAFONT that the font you want to create is virtual ?
4. What are *.vf files for ?

Thanks in advance for your response.
