Font conversion [Was: [pdftex] TeXtrace!]

[Berthold Crysmann]

Dear all,

in order to avoid duplication of effort: I am currently converting
several fonts from mf to pfb, using the aforementioned textrace.
So far, I have converted the tipa (without xipa, as they have been
converted already by Taco Hoekwater) and ecc fonts.
As far as I have checked, the output is fine when using anti-aliasing.
Without, char's are still ok, but a bit uneven on screen, due to the
lack of hinting.

Conversion of concmath is currently running. Next on my agenda are
cmbright and concrete.

Is anyone interested in the fonts in this state? If so, I would upload
them to CTAN.

Is there anyone with a decent font editor who would like to autohint the
so far unhinted type1 fonts?

Cheers,

Berthold
