>>   UNIX utilities for Adobe Multiple Master Fonts.
>>  
>> Preliminary versions of two free UNIX command-line tools, written by Eddie 
>> Kohler, are available for working with fonts in Adobe's Multiple Master
>> format.
>> mmafm creates a AFM file by interpolating at a given point in a Multiple
>> Master Font's design space.  mmpfb creates a PFB font by interpolating at a
>> given point in a Multiple Master Font's design space.  Both can handle
>> fonts with intermediate masters, like Adobe Jenson.
>> Both utilities require a C++ compiler -- g++-2.7.2 was used to develop the 
>> utilities -- but not the C++ libraries.
>> Version 0.2 corrects a bug in previous versions. Source code for the
>> utilities is located at
