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 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. + +Installation +------------ + + 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. + +Copyright and license +--------------------- + + The original t1utils were (c) 1992 I. Lee Hetherington. Changes +since version 1.2 are (c) 1998-2013 Eddie Kohler. Distribution is +under the Click LICENSE, a BSD-like license described in the LICENSE +file in this directory. + + Note that these tools should not be used to illegally copy type-1 +font programs.
