See the file `COPYING' +for more information. + +MacFont converts Macintosh Type 1 fonts into standard ASCII format. In order +to use MacFont, you must transfer the `resource forks' of the Macintosh font +onto your PC or workstation. This can generally be accomplished by archiving +the font on the Macintosh and extracting the archive with `macunpack' or a +similar non-Mac tool on your workstation. + +MacFont creates PFA files from the `POST' resource and AFM files from the FOND +resource(s). It can also create BDF files from the NFNT resource(s). The AFM +and BDF files will be named appropriately based upon the font name extracted +from the FOND resource. If your file system cannot create long names, use the +`-s' option to name the AFM files sequentially and the BDF files with short +names. The PFA file name must be specified with the -p option. Note: the +FontName, FontFullName, and FamilyName in the AFM file may not match the +corresponding lines in the PFA file. You should edit one or the other to make +them the same. + +Note: starting with version 1.1, there are no default output files. In version +1.0, if you didn't specify -a or -p, you got both. That is no longer the +case. + +Options supported by v1.1: + + -a Extract AFM files from FOND resources + + -b Extract BDF files from NFNT resources + + -p file Extract a PFA file from the POST resources. The PFA file will + have the name `file'. + + -d Dump the Mac resource data. This is basically a debugging option. + + -e file Load the encoding vector from `file'. The encoding vector is + a plain text file with 256 names, one per line. These names will + be used in the AFM file. If the `-d' option is used, the encoding + vector actually loaded will be displayed on the screen. + + -E name Change EncodingScheme name in AFM file. The default scheme is + `AppleStandard'. If you specify an encoding file with `-e', the + default scheme name becomes `FontSpecific'. In either case, you + can specify a particular name with `-E'. + + -s Extract AFM files with sequential names. Rather than using the + font name from the FOND resource, use the names `macfont.1', + `macfont.2', etc. + + -w wght Change Weight to `wght' in the AFM file. The default weight is + `Normal'. + +Please report any problems that you have to Norman Walsh <walsh@cs.umass.edu>. + + Be seeing you... + norm + |
