-.SH NAME
-mmpfb \- creates single-master fonts from multiple master fonts
-'
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B mmpfb
-\%[OPTIONS...]
-.I font
-'
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B Mmpfb
-creates a normal, single-master PostScript font from a multiple master font
-by interpolation. You pass it a PFB or PFA font and options specifying the
-design point you want; it writes the resulting PFB or PFA font to the
-standard output.
-.PP
-The fonts
-.B mmpfb
-creates are interpolated at a low level to remove multiple master
-instructions from individual characters. Therefore, they can be used by
-programs that don't normally understand multiple master fonts, like
-.BR ps2pk (1).
-.PP
-.B Mmpfb
-supports fonts with intermediate masters, like Adobe Jenson and Kepler. It
-can also create AMCP (Adobe Multiple Master Conversion Program) files for
-use by
-.M mmafm 1 ;
-see
-.B \-\-amcp\-info
-below.
-.PP
-The
-.I font
-argument is either the name of a PFA or PFB font file, or a PostScript font
-name. If you give a font name,
-.B mmpfb
-will find the actual outline file using the PSRESOURCEPATH environment
-variable. This colon-separated path is searched for `PSres.upr' files, an
-Adobe method for indexing PostScript resources.
-.PP
-You can also give the name of a multiple
-master font instance, like `MinionMM_367_400_12_'.
-.B Mmpfb
-will parse the font name and create that instance for you. `PSres.upr'
-files must be set up for this to work.

-Output a PFB font. This is the default.

-Output a PFA font.

-.Op \-\-amcp\-info
-'
-Do not create a font; instead, output an AMCP file for use by
-.M mmafm 1 .
-A message is printed if the font doesn't have intermediate masters, in
-which case no AMCP file is necessary.

-\fB\-\-1\fR=\fIN\fR (\fB\-\-2\fR=\fIN\fR, \fB\-\-3\fR=\fIN\fR, \fB\-\-4\fR=\fIN\fR)

-Set the first (second, third, fourth) axis to
-.IR N .
-'
-.TP
-.Oy \-\-precision N \-p N
-'
-Set the output precision to
-.IR N .
-Higher values mean the control points in the output font will be more
-exactly aligned; lower values (1 or 2) create smaller output font
-files, and are close enough for most purposes. A precision of
-.IR N
-means that each point will be within
-.RI 1/ N
-font units of the exact interpolated value. (A font unit is generally
-1/7200 inch for a 10-point font.) The default is 5.
-'
-.TP
-.Ol \-\-subrs N
-'
-Limit the output font to at most
-.IR N
-subroutines. 256 is a good value for
-.IR N .
-'
-.TP
-.BR \-\-no\-minimize
-'
-Do not minimize the output font definition. By default,
-.B mmpfb
-removes extra PostScript code and dictionary definitions from the font.
-Supply the
-.B \-\-no\-minimize
-option to avoid this behavior.
-'
-.SH TROUBLESHOOTING
-.LP
-The "IBM" Type 1 font interpreter shipped as part of the X font server and
-.B ps2pk
-(among others) is inappropriately strict about PostScript code embedded in
-a font. The
-.B \-\-minimize
-option (now the default) fixes this problem.
-.LP
-Some versions of Adobe Acrobat Distiller may report "Warning: unable to
-embed font X. Invalid character outline data" when distilling an instance
-generated by
-.BR mmpfb .
-This is due to a limitation in the number of font subroutines Distiller can
-accept. (Multiple master fonts, and the single-master fonts generated by
-.BR mmpfb ,
-tend to have a lot of subroutines.) Try limiting the number of subroutines
-in the generated font with the
-.Op \-\-subrs
-option.

-.M mmafm 1
-'
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-.TP 5
-reducing \fIfont\fR to minimum number of subroutines (\fIN\fR)
-You tried to reduce the number of subroutines to less than \fIN\fR using
-the
-.Op \-\-subrs
-option, but the font needs at least \fIN\fR to function. The output font
-will have \fIN\fR subroutines.
