# This utility is a direct translation right down to the comments
# from mkfontalias.py written by Roman Sulzhyk to assist people
# in de-uglification of their true type fonts. It creates a
# fonts.alias file from the fonts.dir file found in the directory.
# It supports all of the Python script's features:
#
# - maps the following MS webfonts:
# Verdana, Tahoma, Impact, Arial Black,
# Comic Sans MS, Georgia, Trebuchet MS
#
# - cheats by mapping 6, 7 and 8pt to 9pt fonts
