    TAKAHASHI> fibr84.pfa | t1binary > fibr84.pfb

I have the following files in .../ibycus4/
	fibr84.pfa (empty)
	IbycusHTG-Regular.pfa
	ibyhtgr_.pfb

which ones need to be changed or manipulated?

    TAKAHASHI> As the above operation changes only Type1 font, you

    TAKAHASHI> BTW, there is a typo in the README file of Ibycus4;
    TAKAHASHI> "psibycus" is written as "ibycusps".
