Hello World,

The metrics for the builtin LJ3/4 fonts that I distributed recently were in
error.  If you are interested in using the metrics, please retreive
ibis.cs.umass.edu:/pub/norm/hptfm2pl/HPLJ3/fix*.zip.

I failed to notice that HP distributed two versions of the font metrics for
the fixed sized fonts (Courier and Line Printer): version 1.0.1. and version
1.2.0.  Because of the way I built the metrics, some of the PL files come from
the 1.0.1 metrics and some come from the 1.2.0. metrics.  The 1.0.1 metrics do
not conform to the HP TFM specification (as I understand it) and the result is
that some metrics have depth=0 for all of the characters.

The new metrics correct this problem.  I am distributing both versions of
the PL files (although I can think of no reason why you would want the
old metrics).  The names of the metric files are:

   tttSSSnn

or
   0ttSSSnn

Where 0   = this file comes from the 1.0.1 metrics
      ttt = typeface
      SSS = symbol set
      nn  = design size (truncated to integer)

                                                  Be seeing you...
                                                    norm

P.S. NB: only the fix-pl.zip and fix-tfm.zip files have changed.  You do
not need to retreive all of the files in HPLJ3/* if you have already have
the metrics for the scalable fonts.
