FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Quesaco Explanations on the conversion of a truetype to a postscript (type 42) font IF you have UNIX and IF ghostscript (gs) is installed: Take the script ttf2pf.ps here, and correct/replace the capital names/files by their lower case counterparts: GS_TTF.PS => gs_ttf.ps, PF2AFM.PS => pf2afm.ps. Start the (UNIX) command "gs -q -dNODISPLAY -- ttf2pf.ps myfont.ttf myfont.pfa myfont.afm" (replace "myfont" by the appropriate name of course). The command requires ghostscript ("gs"). This leaves the postscript font myfont.pfa and the metrics file myfont.afm.
