ttf2tfm and ttf2pk still exist, but haven't been ported to FreeType 2
since both require OpenType features available only in FreeType 1.

Please get those two archives for the current version from
ftp.freetype.org:

  freetype-current.tar.gz
  freetype1-contrib-current.tar.gz

The latter must be `mounted' into the former to populate the `contrib'
subdirectory, e.g.

  freetype/contrib/ttf2pk
