With very little TeX and Metafont experience, I am attempting to convert
some homemade HP-type laserjet soft fonts into TeX fonts. The actual conversion
process that I'm using *appears* to work, but I'm having trouble adjusting
the intercharacter spacing for a fixed width font.

I have tried altering the "property list" file before converting it into
the .tfm format, but I've only been able to change interword spacing.

If anyone out there has suggestions, I would be most grateful!
