+.SS TrueType fonts
+TrueType fonts can be used with 
+.B grops 
+if converted first to 
+.B "Type 42"
+format, an especial PostScript wrapper equivalent to the
+PFA format mentioned in
+.BR pfbtops (@MAN1EXT@).
+There are several different methods to generate a type42 
+wrapper and most of them involve the use of a PostScript
+interpreter such as Ghostscript \(em see
+.BR gs (1).
+Yet, the easiest method involves the use of the application 
+.BR ttftot42 .
+This program uses
+.BR freetype (3)
+(version 1.3.1) to generate type42
+font wrappers and well-formed AFM files that can be fed to
+the
+.BR afmtodit (@MAN1EXT@)
+script to create appropriate metric files.
+The resulting font wrappers should be added to the
+.B download
+file.
+.B ttftot42
+source code can be downloaded from
+.URL ftp://\:www.giga.or.at/\:pub/\:nih/\:ttftot42/ \
