> If your hints.mf is the one I wrote: Indeed it is. I discovered both ps2mf and ps2pk from something Sebastian Rahtz wrote in UKTeX some weeks back. I tried ps2pk first but had some problems with it. At the moment it still produces characters which contain a certain amount of rubbish; I do not have a unix machine (I use an Acorn Archimedes risc machine) and getting the program to run at all was not easy. The accompanying files refer to there being difficulties on the Amiga and, I think, msdos machines; it would seem that there may be something in the UNIX code which does not work well on other os's.) On the other hand ps2mf compiled on my ansi C compiler with virtually no modifications. The text it prints with hinting:=0 is very bold and with hinting:=1 it is again not perfect---diagonals are over-heavy---but it is still better than having letters with odd marks underneath them...
