It seems that Mathematica provides fonts in the following forms: .pfa, .tfm, .afm. I must admit I don't know what all this means. dvips (a program used in conjunction with TeX and LaTex) apparently needs the fonts in the .pfb format. How does one construct a file of the correct type from the fonts provided by Mathematica. I'm using Mathematica 5.2. I could update using my university's site licence if that would help. Apparently there are programs with names like pfa2pfb, maybe one in perl. Does anyone know how I can get these? I work on Mac Os X 10.4.11. Thanks David Epstein
