Archive sites for ftp are listed where known. There is also a BITNET archive at LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU. Please note that I don't use TeX, and can't answer questions about it. Many of the files are listed as being on a ctan archive. The CTAN servers are ftp.dante.de (129.206.100.192), and ftp.tex.ac.uk (128.232.1.87). These are mirrored at various places, although I don't have a list; README.mirrors in CTAN:/tex-archive is a good source. South African Mirror: ftp.ee.up.ac.za Please tell me (lee@sq.com) about others. There is no North American CTAN archive right now. Robin Fairbairns sent me the following note on behalf of the CTAN team: I suggest you try ftp.cdrom.com instead; the CTAN root there is /pub/tex/ctan; quote site index there doesn't work -- you'll have to use ftp.tex.ac.uk or ftp.dante.de for that. Rest assured that the CTAN team is trying very hard to find an alternative CTAN site in N America. Note on BLACKBOX: The blackbox archive has gone, but ftp.bcc.ac.uk is trying to replace it, so try that machine. Finally, too many people have helped with this list to give individual acknowledgements -- or the file would be twice as large! -- but please do know that people's help is really appreciated. I always welcome additions to this list, although it may take me a while to add them to the list, I'm afraid. If you don't see your addition after a couple of months, please feel free to send it again!

It was written by Donald Knuth and is documented in Computers & Typesetting/C: The METAFONTbook Knuth, Donald E. Addison Wesley, 1986 ISBN 0-201-13445-4, or 0-201-13444-6 (soft cover) Library access: Z250.8.M46K58, or 686.2'24, or 85-28675. A font written in Metafont is actually a computer program which, when run, will generate a bitmap (`raster') for a given typeface at a given size, for some particular device. In order to use a metafont format font, you'll need to have metafont, or a program such as mf2ps. See the comp.fonts FAQ for more information. Subject: AMS The American Mathematical Society collection of Metafont fonts contains: [1] AMS Euler -- a calligraphic font, designed by Herman Zapf for the AMS. It is designed for mathematical use, not as a text face. The fonts are Fraktur, Script, Cursive (an upright italic), Math extension. (see TUGboat Vol.10, No. 1) Most of the Euler fonts use the plain base, not the cm base. You should build these using virmf, or at least with a version of Metafont that does not have cmbase pre-loaded. Any Errors reported when building some of the samller sizes can be ignored. (see also under Euler) [2] AMS extra maths symbols (msam, msbm) [3] AMS computer modern extensions -- providing some of the CM fonts at extra point-sizes. [4] AMS Cyrillic (this is the same as University of Washington Cyrillic) There is also some documentation. You can get them from the AMS directly: ftp: e-math.ams.org /pub/tex/amsfonts/sources ftp: e-math.ams.org /pub/tex/amsfonts/doc Any (infrequent) changes to these fonts happen on e-math first. ftp: CTAN in tex-archive/fonts/amsfonts Subject: APL Fonts for the APL (A Programming Language) programming language.

Brian Hamilton Kelly's cmgr family Yannis Haramboulos' rgr family ftp: UNKNOWN; James K. Tauber's Greek Metafont `MELANOS' Melanos differs from other Greek Metafonts in that the diacritics are placed after the letter they apply to, making it easier to use Greek texts based on the CATSS/CCAT/TLG system of transliteration. CATSS/CCAT/TLG files can be made compatible with MELANOS by changing "\" to "`" and "|" to "!" This (0.2) is still an early release with a simple mono-width sans serif style. ftp: tartarus.uwa.edu.au; cd /pub/jtauber/melanos see also Malvern Subject: Hebrew A number of Hebrew fonts are available, with and without vowels. Those include the fonts Jerusalem, TelAviv, OldJaffa and DeadSea, Joel M. Hoffman's HCLASSIC (joel@exc.com), Jacques Goldberg's REDIS, Shalom fonts and more. Some or all of the fonts are available in an 8-bit encoding; the Metafont files have names ending in "_newcode.mf". These are: Jerusalem, TelAviv, OldJaffa, DeadSea, redis{8,9,10,12,17}, rediss{8,9,10}. Jerusalem, TelAviv, OldJaffa and DeadSea are the "regular" fonts in most applications. Jerusalem is the default; DeadSea is a darker font; TelAviv is a sort of sans-serif font; OldJaffa is a narrow font. REDIS (redis*) contains a full set of Hebrew letters in a "sans-serif" style, and selected punctuation. Hclassic, dclassic, hcaption and dcaption have a companion slanted form, and provide Biblical-style letters along with full vocalization capabilities (i.e. vowels, called in Hebrew NIKUD). The fonts dclassic and dcaption are a modified version of hclassic and hcaption, in that they contain, apart from the original characters and vowels, also digits and special symbols copied from the font DeadSea. Usage is described in the guide classic_guide (available in noa.huji.ac.il in tex/tex_guides). ShalomScript10, ShalomStick10 and ShalomOldStyle10 are three variations of a Hebrew font with "vowels". Three fonts + vowels are available: ShalomScript10.mf, ShalomStick10.mf and ShalomOldStyle.mf. Usage is described in Shalom.readme. Carmel and carmel slanted (crml10, crmlsl10) are bold fonts written by Dr. Samy Zafrany of the Technion, Haifa, for headers and for emphasized text. All of the Hebrew fonts can be found at the archive for Hebrew TeX files: ftp: noa.huji.ac.il; cd tex/fonts Subject: Helvetica Produced by the Metafoundry and sold commercially.

Email me if you need more information; Rick Tobin is on the net, but the connection is unreliable. Subject: Hershey The Hershey fonts were designed for use by plotters, and published in 1972. These fonts are of relatively low typographic quality, but are useful on devices with lower resolution. ftp: cs.uoregon.edu ftp: science.utah.edu There may be a Hershey to MF converter at mims-iris.waterloo.edu called xhershey.

It is used to refer to fonts used for setting the Old English language. The term `Old English' is also used to mean the Black Letter fonts used by mediaeval scribes, and called Gothic. Unfortunately, some American typefounding companies use `Gothic' to mean `sans-serif'. Both the Anglo-Saxon character sets and the ornamental Black Letter fonts are listed here. Julian Bradfield's font for typesetting Old English in TeX -- this supplies extra characters for Computer Modern. The extra characters are eth, Eth, Thorn, thorn, yogh, Yogh and Polish ogonek. There are two styles of thorn, but I note that there is no wynn. You may have to create an empty file, or rename a file -- I forget exactly what I had to do. Some of these characters can also be found in the International Phonetic Alphabet font as well, but Julian's are much more convenient for working with Old English.
