- Mftrace is a small Python program that lets you trace a TeX bitmap font
- into a PFA or PFB font (A PostScript Type1 Scalable Font). Type1 fonts
- offer many advantages over bitmaps, as they allow PostScript files
- to render correctly on printers with many resolutions. Moreover,
- Ghostscript can generate much better PDF, if given scalable fonts.
- Mftrace requires a tracing program, either potrace or autotrace.
- If both are installed, potrace is chosen by default.
- fontforge is an optional recommended dependency.
