The package provides mf parameter files to generate 
a Concrete version of the tipa IPA fonts, together with 
LaTeX .fd for the new font family, and type1 outlines 
generated from the .mf source via TeXtrace. 

The parameters are taken from Knuth's original Concrete 
fonts and combined with a few values specific to the TIPA fonts.
