% It runs under LaTeX and is interactive so as to let you prepare
% as many font tables as you whish in just one run
%
% Usage:
% Run the program by entering
%
% latex fonttab
%
% The program will prompt you for a font name:
%
% Font name [to finish enter stop]
% \Font=
%
% Enter the font name you want to try, for example dcu10, or emu10, or ...
%
% The program will produce the font table corresponding to the chosen font
% and will ask you another font name; keep entering as many font names you
% want and finish by entering the word stop at the font name prompt.
% That's it.                           ^^^^   
%
% When you have your .dvi file "efonttab.dvi" print  it  by  means  of  your
% printer  driver.  Be aware that you might have the font metric file (.tfm)
% for the chosen font, but you  might lack the corresponding pixel files, so
% that your table will be empty or contain a subtitution font  according  to
% your setup.
% 
% Be sure also  that  your  printer  driver  handles correctly 256 character
% fonts and/or virtual fonts.
