  <description>
    <abstract>mf2pt1 facilitates producing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a
    Metafont source file.  It is not, as the name may imply, an
    automatic converter of arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1
    format.  mf2pt1 imposes a number of restrictions on the
    Metafont input.  If these restrictions are met, mf2pt1 will
    produce valid Type 1 output.  (Actually, it produces
    "disassembled" Type 1; the t1asm program from the t1utils
    suite will convert this to a true Type 1 font.)
