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