+LCDF-TYPETOOLS 2.95
+===================
+
+USAGE
+-----
+ The LCDF Typetools package contains several programs for manipulating
+PostScript Type 1, Type 1 multiple master, and PostScript-flavored OpenType
+fonts. LCDF Typetools includes the mmafm and mmpfb programs, which were
+formerly distributed as part of a different package (mminstance).
+
+ Cfftot1 translates a Compact Font Format (CFF) font, or a PostScript-
+flavored OpenType font, into PostScript Type 1 format. It correctly
+handles subroutines and hints. See the manual page 'cfftot1/cfftot1.1' for
+more information.
+
+ Mmafm creates an AFM file (font metrics) corresponding to an instance of
+a multiple-master font. It reads the AMFM and AFM files distributed with
+the font. See MMINSTANCE NOTES, below, and the manual page 'mmafm/mmafm.1'
+for more information.
+
+ Mmpfb creates a normal, single-master font program which looks like an
+instance of a multiple-master font. It reads the multiple master font
+program in PFA or PFB format. See MMINSTANCE NOTES, below, and the manual
+page 'mmpfb/mmpfb.1' for more information.
+
+ Otfinfo reports information about OpenType fonts, such as the features
+they support and the contents of their 'size' optical size features. See
+the manual page 'otfinfo/otfinfo.1' for more information.
+
+ Otftotfm creates TeX font metrics and encodings that correspond to a
+PostScript-flavored OpenType font. It will interpret glyph positionings,
+substitutions, and ligatures as far as it is able. You can say which
+OpenType features should be activated. See the manual page
+'otftotfm/otftotfm.1' for more information.
+
+ T1dotlessj reads a Type 1 font, then creates a new Type 1 font whose
+only character is a dotless "j" matching the input font's design. See the
+manual page 't1dotlessj/t1dotlessj.1' for more information.
+
+ T1lint checks Type 1 fonts for correctness. It tests most of the
+requirements listed in Adobe Systems' Black Book ("Adobe Type 1 Font
+Format"), and some others. See the manual page 't1lint/t1lint.1' for more
+information.
+
+ T1reencode reencodes a Type 1 font, replacing its internal encoding with
+one you specify. See the manual page 't1reencode/t1reencode.1' for more
+information.
+
+ Ttftotype42 creates a Type 42 wrapper for a TrueType or
+TrueType-flavored OpenType font. See the manual page
+'ttftotype42/ttftotype42.1' for more information.
+
+ The final program is preliminary: t1testpage creates a PostScript test
+page for a given font file. See the manual page 't1testpage/t1testpage.1'
+for more information.
+
+ Please write me with problems, patches, and suggestions at the address
+below.
+
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+------------
+ UNIX; gmake; C & C++ compilers. To build, just run ./configure, then
+gmake. See 'INSTALL' in this directory for more detailed information about
+'./configure'.
+
+ Some programs can link with additional libraries. Otftotfm can use the
+Kpathsea TeX-related path searching library; if your kpathsea library is in
+a nonstandard place, supply 'configure' with the '--with-kpathsea=PREFIX'
+option to find it.
+
+ You can also disable individual programs by supplying 'configure' with
+'--disable-PROGNAME' options. See './configure --help' for more
+information.
+
+
+MMINSTANCE NOTES
+----------------
+
+Examples
+........
+ % mmafm MyriadMM.amfm --weight=300 --width=585 > MyriadMM_300_585_.afm
+ % mmpfb MyriadMM.pfb --weight=300 --width=585 > MyriadMM_300_585_.pfb
+
+ Run `mmafm --help' and `mmpfb --help' for a full option summary.
+
+Running mmafm
+.............
+ Mmafm expects the name of an AMFM file on the command line. It also
+needs to find an AFM file for each master (these should have been
+distributed with the AMFM file). You can give the AFM files' names on the
+command line, along with the AMFM file, or you let mmafm find the AFM files
+automatically. For the automatic method, you must follow one of these 2
+conventions:
+
+ 1) The AFM files are in the same directory as the AMFM file. They are
+named `FONTNAME.afm' -- `MyriadMM-LightCn.afm', for example.
+
+ 2) There is a `PSres.upr' file that lists the AFMs by font name, and the
+`PSRESOURCEPATH' environment variable contains the directory with that
+`PSres.upr' file. (`ps2pk' comes with a sample `PSres.upr' file.)
+
+Intermediate masters
+....................
+ Mmpfb can handle intermediate-master fonts transparently. If you use
+`PSres.upr' files, as described above, mmafm will also work transparently
+on intermediate-master fonts: it'll call mmpfb to get the information it
+needs. If you don't use `PSres.upr' files, you need to use mmpfb ahead of
+time to set up some auxiliary files. Say you want to use an intermediate
+master font `FONT', and FONT's AMFM file is in the `DIR' directory. Here's
+what you need to do:
+
+ % mmpfb FONT.pfb --amcp-info > DIR/FONT.amcp
+
+ When you run mmafm on 'DIR/FONT.amfm', it will automatically look for
+'DIR/FONT.amcp'. An example using Adobe Jenson:
+
+ % cd ~/Fonts/AJensonMM
+ % mmpfb AJensonMM.pfb --amcp-info > AJensonMM.amcp
+
+ Most multiple master fonts don't have intermediate masters, so you won't
+usually need to make '.amcp' files. Mmafm will tell you if it is necessary
+for a particular font.
