Summary description: A collection of Metafont mode_def’s
Announcement text:
This update to modes.mf adds a mode for potrace usage at 7200 dpi, requested by Hans Hagen and Mikael Sundqvist. The modes.mf file collects all known Metafont modes for printing or display devices, of whatever printing technology. Special provision is made for write-white printers, and `landscape' support is available, for making suitable fonts for printers with pixels whose aspect is non-square. The file also provides definitions that make \specials identifying the mode in Metafont's GF output, and put coding information and other Xerox-world information in the TFM file. Feel free to send me or tex-k at tug.org any questions, comments, bug reports, or new modes. The only web page is on CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/modes
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/modes More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/modes
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Manfred Lotz CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs .
