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. -' -' -.SH EXAMPLE -' -.nf -% mmpfb \-\-weight=400 \-\-width=600 MyriadMM.pfb > MyriadMM_400_600_.pfb -.fi -' -.SH OPTIONS -Long options may be abbreviated to their unique prefixes. -' -.TP 5 -.Oy \-\-output file \-o file -' -Send output to -.I file -instead of standard output. -' -.TP -.BR \-\-pfb ", " \-b -' -Output a PFB font.

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. -' -.SH SEE ALSO -.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.
