       An option to add letterspacing to the virtual font was rejected by Knuth because it would make the fi and
       fl ligatures break the normal rhythmic pattern.

       PostScript  fonts  are  (or  should  be)  accompanied by font metric files such as Times-Roman.afm, which
       describes the characteristics of the font called Times-Roman.  To use such fonts with TeX,  we  need  TFM
       files that contain similar information. This program does that conversion.

       For all the details, see the dvips manual (http://tug.org/dvips).
