END-OF-LIFE ANNOUNCEMENT

As of September 30, 2004, ttf2tex is no longer maintained or in any
way supported by its original author. Active development of the
script has in fact already stopped in September 2002. Be advised
that, even though ttf2tex may still work, there is no support in
case of a problem and there will be no further updates.

ABOUT

ttf2tex is a script for the Bash shell which generates all files
required to use TrueType fonts from a set of .ttf files. In short,
it will do for TrueType fonts what fontinst's \latinfamily command
does for Type 1 Postscript fonts. In addition to that, it creates
map files and installs all files according to the TeX Directory
Structure.

The script is designed for Unix systems running teTeX. It should
also work with TeX Live on Unix. It was reported to work under
several Linux flavors, FreeBSD, and MacOS X with Fink. See the file
ttf2tex.pdf for requirements, usage instructions, and some general
information concerning the use of TrueType fonts with TeX.
