Greetings,

I uploaded a new version of HPTFM2PL this morning:

  ibis.cs.umass.edu:/pub/norm/tex/hp2pl10a.zip

HPTFM2PL converts HP Tagged Font Metric files to TeX PL format (easily
convertable to TeX TFM format with PLtoTF).  This new version includes
support for LJ4 TrueType HPTFMs (they use a different rounding algorithm).
I'm not confident that the new algorithm is correct, and I have no way to
test it, so I've added a /I switch to ignore it).

I have not yet generated the new PL/TFMs for the LJ4, but I will try to
do so this weekend.

I've also made some of the source code available in

  ibis.cs.umass.edu:/pub/norm/tex/hp2pl10a-source.zip

This is Turbo Pascal source and is not quite complete.  You would need
Turbo Power Software's Object Professional Toolkit to compile it.  However,
it is complete enough (I hope) to give you a flavor of what HP TFM files
look like.  If you want to port it, be my guest...

And, someone unfortunately perhaps, I should point out that the zip files
are in the PKZip 2.04c format.  I accidentally used the new zip so you may
not be able to extract them with v1.1.  Let me know if this causes inordinate
problems and I'll try to help out.

Archive maintainers: feel free to add hp2pl10a.zip to your archives.  However,
please leave the source on ibis only.

                                                  Enjoy,
                                                    norm
