Here is a CTAN announcement that might be useful for those who
intend to use truetype fonts in TeX.

   I've put a new release of ttf2tex into /incoming on

   support/ttf2tex, replacing the contents of this directory.
   -- Thank you.
   
   From the README:
   
   ttf2tex is a Bash shell script which generates all files
   required to use TrueType fonts with teTeX 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. ttf2tex is designed for Linux/UNIX systems running
   teTeX.
   
   From the CHANGELOG:
   
   2002-01-21      v0.4.1
     * minor fixes and improvements
     * slightly extended manual
     * manual built with updated pdftex to fix
       problems with Acrobat Reader 5
   
   2001-11-05      v0.4
     * revised weight substitution logic
     * optional session log
     * minor fixes and improvements
     * updated and improved manual

Thanks for the update, I put it in

  support/ttf2tex

as requested.
