The \texttt{SkakNew} fonts are a set of PostScript\texttrademark{} \mbox{Type-1} fonts converted by \texttt{mftrace/autotrace} from \Metafont{} sources based on the \texttt{Skak} fonts by Torben Hoffmann and Dirk Bächle which themselves are based on \texttt{chess} by Piet Tutelaers. The conversion process was only the first step. A lot of work went into cleaning the outlines (reducing nodes, adding missing extremes, correcting wrong outline direction, etc.pp.). The next step included better glyph metrics both horizontally \& vertically, better sidebearings and consistent axis height (adapted to the values of \texttt{Computer Modern})~\ldots All files may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.2 of this license or (at your option) any later version.
