GNU Fontutils

The GNU font utilities to allow conversion of a scanned type specimen image into an outline (PostScript or Metafont) font. These fonts can be used with Ghostscript or TeX.

The fontutils are looking for a maintainer. Please email if you're interested.

If you have questions or suggestions for the fontutils, please email bug-fontutils@gnu.org.
