.SH DESCRIPTION
This program converts a TrueType font into a
.C PK
file; the created font can then be used with \*(TX
or \*(LX.
.PP
CJKV (Chinese/Japanese/Korean/old Vietnamese) subfonts as created by 
.B ttf2tfm
are also supported.
.PP
.B ttf2pk
always assumes 10pt as the design size for the written \*(TX
font.
.
.
.SH PARAMETERS
.TP
.B \-q
This optional switch makes
.B ttf2pk
quiet.
It suppresses any informational output except warning and error
messages.
.TP
.B \-n
Use only `\c
.C \&.pk '
as the extension instead of `\c
.C \&. \c
.RI < \%resolution >\c
.C pk '.
.TP
.B \-t
Test for the existence of
.IR \%font-name .
Returns 0 on success and prints out the corresponding line of
a map file (default:
.C \%ttfonts.map ),
provided the
.B \-q
switch isn't set.
.TP
.I font-name
The \*(TX
name of the font.
.B ttf2pk
looks this name up in a map file (see below) for further information how
to process the font.
.TP
.I resolution
The resolution, given in dots per inch.
Currently the horizontal resolution is equal to the vertical
resolution.
The design size is always assumed to be 10pt.
.TP
.B \-\^\-version
Shows the current version of
.B ttf2pk
and the used file search library (e.g.\ \c
.BR kpathsea ).
.TP
.B \-\^\-help
Shows usage information.
.PP
Environment variables for file searching are described in the manual page
of
.BR ttf2tfm .
.
.
.SH "THE CONFIGURATION FILE"
.B ttf2pk
uses a small configuration file called
.C ttf2pk.cfg ;
in each line it contains a keyword with its value, separated by whitespace.
Comment lines can start with any of the following characters: `*', `#',
`;', and `%'.
Leading whitespace is ignored.
.PP
Currently, only one keyword, `map', is recognized in this file; it takes
a map file name as a parameter.
If no extension is given to the map file name,
.C \&.map
is appended.
No whitespace is allowed in the map file name.
The `map' keyword can be given more than once to specify multiple map
files; if the map file name is prepended by a plus sign, it is added to
the list of map files to be used.
Example:
.PP
.in +2m
.C "map  foo"
.br
.C "map +bar"
.PP
This makes
.B ttf2pk
to first read
.C foo.map ,
then
.C bar.map .
.PP
If the configuration file is not found,
.B ttf2pk
tries to use
.C \%ttfonts.map
instead.
.
.
.SH "MAP FILES"
Parameters specified to
.B ttf2tfm
are preserved for
.B ttf2pk
in map files\(em\c
.B ttf2tfm
writes out to standard output, as the last line, a proper entry for a
map file.
.PP
As an example, a call to
.PP
.in +2m
.C "ttf2tfm arial -p T1.enc -s 0.25 -P 1 -E 0 arials"
.PP
will produce the following line:
.PP
.in +2m
.C "arials   arial Slant=0.25 Pid=1 Eid=0 Encoding=T1.enc"
.PP
See
.BR ttf2tfm (1)
and
.BR afm2tfm (1)
of the
.B dvips
package for a detailed description of encoding files.
.PP
Here a table listing the various
.B ttf2tfm
parameters and the corresponding entries in a map file:
.PP
.in +4m
.ta 2i
-s	Slant
.br
-e	Extend
.br
-p	Encoding
.br
-f	Fontindex
.br
-P	Pid
.br
-E	Eid
.br
-n	PS=Yes
.br
-N	PS=Only
.br
-R	Replacement
.br
-x	Rotate=Yes
.br
-y	Y-Offset
.PP
Single replacement glyph names given to
.B ttf2tfm
with `\c
.BI \-r \ old-glyphname\ new-glyphname\c
\&'
are directly specified with `\c
.IR old-glyphname = new-glyphname '.
They will be ignored if in subfont mode or if no encoding file is given.
.PP
One additional parameter in a map file is unique to
.BR ttf2pk :
`Hinting', which can take the values `On' or `Off'.
Some fonts (e.g.\ the CJK part of
.C \%cyberbit.ttf )
are rendered incorrectly if hinting is activated.
Default is `On' (you can also use `Yes', `No', `1', and `0').
.PP
For a description of subfonts (i.e., entries of the form `\c
.I <namestem>\c
.C @\c
.I <sfd-filename>\c
.C @ ')
please refer to
.BR ttf2tfm (1).
.PP
The format of a map file is simple.
Each line defines a font; first comes the \*(TX
font name, then its TrueType font file name, followed by the
parameters in any order.
Case is significant (even for parameter names); the parameters are
separated from its values by an equal sign, with whitespace possibly
surrounding it.
.B ttf2pk
reads in all map files line by line in the order given in the
configuration file, continuing until the \*(TX font specified on the
command line is found, otherwise the programs exits with error code\ 2.
Thus you can use any character invalid in a \*(TX
font name to start a comment line.
.PP
You can use `\\' as the final character of a line to indicate that the
input is continued on the next line.
The backslash and the following newline character will be removed.
.PP
.B ttf2pk
will abort if it can't find or read the \*(TX
font metrics file of the given \*(TX
font name.
.
.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
If the call was successful, 0\ will be returned.
In case of error, the return value is\ 1.
Finally, if the font can't be found in the map files,
2\ is returned.
This simplifies the inclusion of
.B ttf2pk
into scripts like
.B mktexpk
for automatic font generation.
.

.SH AVAILABILITY
.B ttf2pk
is part of the FreeType\ 1 package, a high quality TrueType rendering
library.
