We need volunteers to help create fonts for the GNU project.  You do not
need to be an expert type designer to help, but you do need to know
enough about TeX and/or PostScript to be able to install and test new
fonts.  Example: if you know neither (1) the purpose of TeX utility
program `gftopk' nor (2) what the PostScript `scalefont' command does,
you probably need more experience before you can help.

If you can volunteer, the first step is to compile the font utilities.
After that, contact me (karl@gnu.ai.mit.edu).  I will get you a scanned
type specimen image.  The manual explains how to use these utilities to
turn that into a font you can use in TeX or PostScript.
