NAME¶
ttftotype42 - create PostScript Type 42 wrapper of TrueType font
SYNOPSIS¶
ttftotype42 [
input [
output]]
DESCRIPTION¶
Ttftotype42 converts TrueType or TrueType-flavored OpenType font programs
into PostScript Type 42 format, which is a wrapper for the TrueType outlines.
This conversion preserves all outlines and hint information from the original
TrueType font. The Type 42 wrapper uses glyph names identical to those
expected by
pdflatex(1) or
otftotfm(1), so encoding files
suitable for TrueType fonts and
pdflatex will also work for the Type 42
fonts and
dvips(1). If the file
output is not specified output
goes to the standard output. If the file
input is not specified input
comes from the standard input.
OPTIONS¶
- -o file, --output file
- Write output font to file instead of the standard output.
- -q, --quiet
- Do not generate any error messages.
- -h, --help
- Print usage information and exit.
- -v, --version
- Print the version number and some short non-warranty information and
exit.
