BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTENTS
MFTOEPS: a METAFONT package for generating (encapsulated PostScript) files
readable by CorelDRAW!(R), Adobe Illustrator(TM) and Fontographer(R).
METAFONT writes PostScript code to a LOG-file, and from the LOG-file
the code can be extracted by either TeX or AWK. DOS batch files,
TeX source, and AWK source are placed in the subdirectory PROGS.
EPSTOMF: a tiny AWK script for converting EPS files into MF lingo.
EPS files should conform the conventions of the MFTOEPS package.
Such files are generated, e.g., by a Ghostscript utility which
can be found in a directory: support/ps_conv/ on every CTAN
or ftp.GUST.org.pl/pub/TeX/support/ps_conv/.
ROEX: a set of METAFONT macros for accomplishing operations known
as `removing overlaps' and `expanding stroke.' It can work
with ``normal'' METAFONT programs, but is meant mainly for
using with MFTOEPS; in this context it seems most natural.
PROGS: a directory containing DOS batch files, AWK and TeX programs
used by the packages listed above.

A METAFONT support package including:
- epstomf, a tiny AWK script for converting EPS files into METAFONT;
- mftoeps for generating (encapsulated) PostScript files readable, e.g., by CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator and Fontographer;
- a collection of routines (in folder progs) for converting METAFONT-coded graphics into encapsulated PostScript; and
- roex.mf, which provides METAFONT macros for removing overlaps and expanding strokes.
In mftoeps, METAFONT writes PostScript code to a log-file, from which it may be extracted by either TeX or AWK.
