+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 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.
