Hi, Depending on devel/web, this is METAFONT, a font compiler intended to produce typefaces of high quality. METAFONT takes .mf font description files and produces .tfm font metric files and .gf bitmaps.
Originally metafont was intended to create fonts at a particular site for a particular printer. You would know ahead of time the parameters of your printer and create fonts specifically for that model of printer. But I suspect most users want to use metafont fonts on a display, which does not fit that model. I have arbitrarily picked some parameters from the 'modes.mf' file taken from texlive, see 'hitexlaptop'. These parameters are important because all fonts created from metafont use them. In my experiments, for bitmap fonts, I think they look fine. This port contains more change files to let metafont and mf-ware compile with the Free Pascal compiler The created package contains metafont, and mf-ware, and the literate programming documentation that again cannot yet be processed. It also contains the source .mf files for the Computer Modern family of typefaces.
