Hi, I work for a publisher and we frequently receive author supplied content using TeX font naming conventions. Sometimes it is easy to find the original fonts, but not always.
Is there a central location that I can search by the TeX font name prefix? E.g. "TT24D" for "TT24DAo000"?
Thanks in advance.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
