ABOUT







Fontools [Marc Penninga]

Package made in 2005 by Marc Penninga that includes these free UNIX tools written in Perl. The package provides tools to simplify using OpenType fonts with LaTeX. It contains:

  • AFM2AFM - reencode .afm files; designed to replace fontinst's \reencodefont for big .afm files.
  • AUTOINST - a wrapper script around otftotfm (for installing PostScript-flavored OpenType fonts) that also creates .fd and .sty files.
  • CMAP2ENC - convert glyph indices in TrueType fonts without glyph names (such as Linotype Palatino) to Adobe glyph names.
  • FONT2AFM - create font metrics for just about any font file; wrapper around tools such as pf2afm, ttf2afm, pfm2kpx and ot2kpx.
  • OT2KPX - extract all kerning pairs from OpenType fonts.
  • PFM2KPX - extract the correct kerning pairs from buggy .pfm files (where pf2afm complains .notdef character occurred among kern pairs').
  • SHOWGLYPHS - create a pdf file that shows all glyphs in a font.
  • SHOWGLYPHS - create a pdf file that shows all glyphs in a font.
