CTAN update: mf2pt1

[CTAN Announcements]

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the

                mf2pt1

package.

Version: 2.8
License: lppl1.3c

Summary description: Convert stylized Metafont to PostScript Type 1

Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

mf2pt1 facilitates producing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a Metafont source
file.  mf2pt1's advantage over tools such as TeXtrace and mftrace is that it
does not rely on bitmap tracing and therefore can produce higher-quality Type 1
fonts than trace-based tools.  The catch is that mf2pt1 imposes a number of
restrictions on the Metafont input so it is not, as the name may imply, an
automatic converter of arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format.

Version 2.8 of mf2pt1 adds extreme later in the postprocessing script.  This
change is due to a merge request submitted by Werner Lemberg to the LilyPond
project (https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/2374).
