I am looking for a font editor for TeX fonts (preferably .pk files,
but .pxl one would be OK if working pktopx and pxtopk were included)
for the IBM PC. I want to be able to conveniently fix all the
bugs that metafont makes in cm fonts for the smaller sizes 
(70 to 132 dots per inch). I can do it now on VMS but it is a
horrible, sickening, slow kludge. Am I asking too much? I can't
even translate pktopx and pxtopk for the IBM because they are written
in a totally incomprehensible language. Does anyone have versions
of these in plain, ordinary, C?
