LCDF Type Software
[Eddie Kohler]
Eddie Kohler's free type utilities. The LCDF Typetools package contains several command-line programs for manipulating PostScript Type 1 and PostScript-flavored OpenType fonts. It consists of: - Cfftot1 translates a Compact Font Format (CFF) font, or a PostScript-flavored OpenType font, into PostScript Type 1 format. It correctly handles subroutines and hints.
- Mmafm and mmpfb create instances of multiple-master fonts: mmafm creates the AFM file (font metrics) for an instance, given the AMFM and AFM files distributed with the multiple master; mmpfb creates a normal, single-master font for an instance, given the multiple master font itself. These tools help multiple master fonts work with UNIX programs for single-master fonts, like afm2tfm, ps2pk, GhostScript ps2pdf, and the X11 Type 1 font server. Mmafm and mmpfb were previously distributed in their own package, mminstance.
- Otfinfo reports information about OpenType fonts, such as the features they support and the contents of their 'size' optical size features.
- Otftotfm creates TeX font metrics and encodings that correspond to a PostScript-flavored OpenType font. It will interpret glyph positionings, substitutions, and ligatures as far as it is able. You can say which OpenType features should be activated.
- T1dotlessj creates a Type 1 font whose only character is a dotless j matching the input font's design.
- T1lint checks a Type 1 font for correctness.
- T1reencode replaces a font's internal encoding with one you specify.
- T1testpage creates a PostScript proof for a Type 1 font. It is preliminary software.
