t1utils is a collection of simple type-1 Programs for manipulating fonts. t1utils is a collection of simple type-1 Programs for manipulating fonts. Together, they allow you to convert between PFA (ASCII) and PFB (binary) formats, disassemble PFA or PFB files into human-readable form, reassemble them into PFA or PFB format. Also you can extract font resources from a Macintosh font file (ATM / Laserwriter), or create a Macintosh Type 1 font file from a PFA or PFB font.There are currently six programs: t1ascii converts files to format.t1binary converts PFB files to PFA PFA PFB format.t1disasm disassembles a type-1 font (PFA or PFB format) into a first, a human-readable text in hand for the next edition, refinement, a tip mounting, etc. .. t1asm assembles type-1 font into PFA or PFB format readable by the human produced by extracts t1disasm.t1unmac POST resources from a Macintosh type-1 file (ATM / Laserwriter) into PFA or PFB format for use outside the Macintosh environment. The Macintosh file should be stored in MacBinary, AppleSingle, AppleDouble or BinHex format, or as a raw material range. Note that t1unmac did not run on a Macintosh, but makes Macintosh Type 1 fonts available for Unix and Macintosh PCs.t1mac creates a type 1 file from a PFA or PFB-format Type 1 font. Writes the Macintosh file in MacBinary, AppleSingle, AppleDouble or BinHex format, or as a raw material range. WARNING: This will not suffice to use the new font on a Macintosh, as Macintoshes can not read raw Type 1 fonts. You'll need to create a font suitcase containing bitmap fonts if you do not have such a suitcase for the font already. T1utils can not help you this.Installation: You need an ANSI C compiler, such as type gcc.Just `. / Configure "and then" make ". `make install 'will build andinstall utilities and their pages .. manual / configure 'accepts the usual options. See "install" to moredetails. The option most commonly used is `- prefix ', which can be used to install utilities in a place other than / usr / local.What's new in this version: Fixed memory corruption bug ยท. Problem reported by Werner Lemberg.
