[texhax] IFSYM package: PFB or TTF fonts

[Yuri Robbers]

Hello John,

the program "mftrace" will create TTF font files from the original MF
files. I have never used it, but according to the manual page it should
do the trick. If it is not available for your OS I'm willing to give it
a try for you... 

Cheers,
Yuri.
