% File mvrit.tex
% Copyright 1998 Rowland McDonnell although I don't know why I bother
%
% This is the file used to create the faked italic version of the 
% Marvosym metrics.
%
% It requires fontinst, currently (October 1998) available from CTAN:
%
% fonts/utilities/fontinst/
%
%
\input fontinst.sty

\installfonts
\afmtomtx{fmvr8x}{fmvr8x}
\mtxtopl{fmvr8x}{fmvr8x}

%fudge italic from roman
\transformfont{fmvri8x}{\slantfont{167}{\fromafm{fmvr8x}}}

\endinstallfonts

\endinput

Notes:

The file fmvr8x.afm is the original marvosym.afm file re-named.

fmvri8x.tfm was created from fmvr8x.afm using fontinst and pltotf.

fmvr8x.tfm is the original fmvr8x.tfm.
