- The TeX Directory Structure (TDS) standard, available at (ftp://tug.org/tex/tds and ``CTAN:`/tds`) specifies a directory tree for all TeX library files. The directory names given in Suppliers and Typefaces are intended to mesh with that standard.
- The `modes.mf` file (ftp://tug.org/tex/modes.mf) contains recommended mode names to use as directory names.
- The PSfonts distribution (``CTAN:`/fonts/psfonts`) contains TeX support for many fonts, both commercially available and free.
- The Fontinst distribution (``CTAN:`/fonts/utilities/psfonts`) supports quite general creation of virtual fonts, named according to the scheme given here.
- The Dvips translator (original at ftp://labrea.stanford.edu/pub/dvips*.tar.gz and variation at ftp://tug.org/tex/dvipsk.tar.gz) supports resident and downloadable PostScript fonts. Dvips was the first real application of Fontname 1. Dvips also includes Afm2tfm, another program that can create virtual fonts.
- The Dviljk processor (ftp://tug.org/tex/dviljk.tar.gz) contains TeX support for the fonts built into the LaserJet 4.
