+T1UTILS VERSION 1.30 NOTES
+==========================
+
+ You need an ANSI C compiler, such as gcc.
+
+ Just type `./configure', then `make'. `make install' will build and
+install the utilities and their manual pages.
+
+ `./configure' accepts the usual options. See `INSTALL' for more
+details. The most commonly used option is `--prefix', which can be used
+to install the utilities in a place other than /usr/local.
+
+ Changes since version 1.2 (c) 1998-2003 Eddie Kohler, under the same
+redistribution copyright as I. Lee Hetherington's. See below for I. Lee
+Hetherington's original README from 1992, updated slightly for today's
+t1utils.

+
+t1utils is a collection of simple type-1 font manipulation programs.
+Together, they allow you to convert between PFA (ASCII) and PFB (binary)
+formats, disassemble PFA or PFB files into human-readable form, reassemble
+them into PFA or PFB format. Additionally you can extract font resources
+from a Macintosh font file (ATM/Laserwriter), or create a Macintosh Type 1
+font file from a PFA or PFB font.
+
+There are currently six programs:
+
+t1ascii converts PFB files to PFA format.
+
+t1binary converts PFA files to PFB format.
+
+t1disasm disassembles a type-1 font (PFA or PFB format) into a
+ raw, human-readable text form for subsequent hand
+ editing, tweaking, hint fixing, etc...
+
+t1asm assembles type-1 font into PFA or PFB format from
+ human-readable form produced by t1disasm.
+
+t1unmac extracts POST resources from a Macintosh type-1 file
+ (ATM/Laserwriter) into PFA or PFB format for use outside
+ the Macintosh environment. The Macintosh file should be
+ stored in MacBinary, AppleSingle, AppleDouble, or BinHex
+ format, or as a raw resource fork. Note that t1unmac does
+ not have to run on a Macintosh, but makes Macintosh type-1
+ fonts available to Unix machines and PCs.
+
+t1mac creates a Macintosh Type 1 file from a PFA or PFB-format
+ Type 1 font. Writes the Macintosh file in MacBinary,
+ AppleSingle, AppleDouble, or BinHex format, or as a raw
+ resource fork. WARNING: This will not suffice to use the
+ new font on a Macintosh, as Macintoshes cannot read raw
+ Type 1 fonts. You will need to create a font suitcase
+ containing bitmap fonts if you do not have such a suitcase
+ for the font already. T1utils cannot help you do this.
+
+...

+Thanks to Kai-Uwe Herbing (herbing@netmbx.netmbx.de) for the MS-DOS
+port (Microsoft C/C++ compiler).

+programs. Typeface design is an intricate art that should be
+rewarded.
