I have designed a set of tools (UMFT: Unix MetaFont Tools) which can be
used to generate PK-fonts too! Instead of providing people with the `nitty
gritty details' of make, I have designed a set of tools that makes the
generation of fonts more userfriendly. Here is an short introduction to UMFT:

Unix MetaFont Tools (version 1.0)
=================================

Here is a collection of Unix tools that can be used to generate
MetaFonts in a user friendly way. For a comprehensive description of
all offered features you can read umft/man/umft.man.te (a troff manual
page that can be printed with `tbl umft.man.te | eqn | psroff -man' or
something equivalent). For installation instructions and a short
description of its usage you can read the umft/README file.

Here is how you install the `basic+extra+slitex' set of fonts
(after some preparation):

  - generatefonts -s "basic extra slitex" cheapo | sh
  - installfonts -m cheapo | sh

if `cheapo' is the printer of your choice. The `basic+extra+slitex'
fonts were suggested by Bart Childs (TUGboat, aug'88) and Joachim Schrod
(TUGboat, dec'88) as their working set for TeX and LaTeX. To generate your
favourite set of fonts you only need to provide the names of the fonts and
the wanted magsteps into an ASCIIfile.

For further information see subject `UMFT: Unix MetaFont Tools v1.0' in this
discussion group.
