It -correctly handles subroutines and hints. - -**mmafm** creates an AFM file (font metrics) corresponding to an instance of -a Type 1 Multiple Master font. It reads the AMFM and AFM files distributed -with the font. - -**mmpfb** creates a normal, single-master font program which looks like an -instance of a Type 1 Multiple Master font. It reads the multiple master font -program in PFA or PFB format. - -**otfinfo** reports information about OpenType and TrueType fonts, such as -the OpenType features and Unicode code points they support, or the contents -of their `size` optical size features. - -**otftotfm** creates TeX font metrics and encodings that correspond to an -OpenType or TrueType font. It interprets glyph positionings, substitutions, -and ligatures as far as it is able. You can say which OpenType features -should be activated. - -**t1dotlessj** reads a Type 1 font, then creates a new Type 1 font whose -only character is a dotless lower-case j matching the input font’s design. - -**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. - -**t1rawafm** creates an AFM font metrics file corresponding to a raw Type 1 -font file (in PFA or PFB format). - -**t1reencode** reencodes a Type 1 font, replacing its internal encoding with -one you specify. - -**t1testpage** creates PostScript test pages for a given Type 1 font. These -pages show every character defined in the font. - -**ttftotype42** creates a Type 42 wrapper for a TrueType or -TrueType-flavored OpenType font. This allows the font to be embedded in a -PostScript file. - -Each of these programs has a manual page; `man PROGRAMNAME/PROGRAMNAME.1` -for more information. - -See `NEWS` in this directory for changes in recent versions. The LCDF -Typetools home page is: - -http://www.lcdf.org/type/ - - -Installation ------------- - -Type `./configure`, then `make`. - -If `./configure` does not exist (you downloaded from Github), run -`./bootstrap.sh` first. - -`./configure` accepts the usual options; see `INSTALL` for details. -Some of the typetools programs can link with additional libraries. Otftotfm -can use the Kpathsea library for integration with TeX directories; if your -version of this 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. - - -Mmafm and mmpfb ---------------- - -Run `mmafm --help` and `mmpfb --help` for a full option summary. Here are -two example runs: - - % mmafm MyriadMM.amfm --weight=300 --width=585 > MyriadMM_300_585_.afm - % mmpfb MyriadMM.pfb --weight=300 --width=585 > MyriadMM_300_585_.pfb - -Mmafm expects the name of an AMFM file on the command line. It also needs -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.) - - -Copyright and license ---------------------- - -All source code is Copyright (c) 1997-2019 Eddie Kohler. - -This code is distributed under the GNU General Public License, Version 2 -(and only Version 2).
