     for all TeX library files.  The directory names given in Note:
     Suppliers and Note: Typefaces are intended to mesh with that
     standard.

   * The `modes.mf' file (`ftp://tug.org/tex/modes.mf') contains
     recommended mode names to use as directory names.

   * The Fontinst distribution (`http://tug.org/applications/fontinst'
     supports quite general creation of virtual fonts, named according
     to the scheme given here.

   * The Dvips translator (`http://tug.org/dvips') supports resident
     and downloadable PostScript fonts.  Dvips was the first place where
     Fontname became widely known.  Dvips also includes Afm2tfm, another
     program that can create virtual fonts.

   * The Dviljk processor (included in TeX Live) contains TeX support
     for the fonts built into the LaserJet 4.
