Description:

The LCDF Typetools package contains several programs for manipulating
PostScript Type 1, Type 1 multiple master, and PostScript-flavored OpenType
fonts.  LCDF Typetools includes the mmafm and mmpfb programs, which were
formerly distributed as part of a different package (mminstance).
Comment 1 Michael A. Peters 2005-09-26 07:04:01 UTC 
Why this package is useful:

Makes it much easier to make fonts available to latex.

imported into CVS, owners list updated, branched for FC3/FC4, build succesful on
all brances.

Hi,

What's the status of this package, it's necessary if you want to use OTF with
pdfTeX.  Btw the current version is 2.69.

Thanks

This package was dropped from the distribution prior to FC-6.  The three year
old review ticket is not really the proper place to discuss its status.
