Description-en: tools for OpenType, multiple-master, and Type 1 fonts
LCDF Typetools comprises several programs for manipulating PostScript
Type 1, Type 1 multiple master, and OpenType fonts.
.
Programs to manipulate OpenType, multiple-master, and Type 1 fonts:
.
cfftot1 allows you to translate Compact Font Format (CFF) or
PostScript-flavored OpenType fonts into PostScript
Type 1 font format
.
otfinfo reports information about OpenType fonts, such as the
features they support and the contents of their ``size''
optical size option
.
otftotfm allows you to create TeX font metrics and encodings for
using PostScript-flavored OpenType fonts
.
t1dotlessj creates a Type 1 font with a single character --
the dotless j corresponding to the specified design
.
t1lint checks a Type 1 font for correctness (preliminary)
.
t1rawafm generates a "raw" (kernless and ligatureless) AFM file
given a font file (PFB/PFA)
.
t1reencode changes a PostScript Type 1 fon't embedded encoding
.
t1testpage creates a PostScript test page for a specified
font file (preliminary)
.
ttftotype42 converts TrueType or TrueType-flavored OpenType font
programs into PostScript Type 42 format
.
LCDF-TypeTools also includes the multiple-master font tools formerly
distributed as mminstance. These tools allow you to use
multiple-master fonts with programs that require single-master fonts
(afm2tfm, ps2pk, fontinst, etc.). Both programs work fine with fonts
that contain intermediate masters (e.g., Adobe Jenson MM and Adobe
Kepler MM).
.
mmafm creates an AFM (Adobe font metric) file corresponding to
a single instance of a multiple-master font. It reads
(and therefore requires) the AMFM and AFM files
distributed with the font.
.
mmpfb creates a normal, single-master font program that looks
like an instance of a multiple-master font. It reads
the multiple-master font program in PFA or PFB format.
