    Karl Berry submitted an update to the

    modes
    =20
    package.

    Summary description: A collection of Metafont mode_def=E2=80=99s
    =20
    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    =20
    This tiny update to modes.mf adds an alias "pdf" for "dpdfezzz",
    for simpler use on the Metafont command line.
    =20
    The modes.mf file collects all known Metafont modes for printing or
    display devices, of whatever printing technology. Special provision is
    made for write-white printers, and `landscape' support is available =
    for
    making suitable fonts for printers with non-square pixels.
    =20
    The file also provides definitions that make \specials identifying the
    mode in Metafont's GF output, and put coding information and other Xerox-world information in the TFM file.
    =20
    Feel free to send me or tex-k@tug.org (visit =
    https://lists.tug.org/tex-k
    for archives and subscriptions) any questions, comments, bug reports, =
    or
