NAME¶
afm2afm - reencode an afm file
SYNOPSIS¶
- afm2afm
- [-help] [ -encoding encodingfile] [
-output outputfile] afmfile
DESCRIPTION¶
afm2afm re-encodes an
afm file.
Metrics (including kerning data) for characters not present in the chosen
encoding are excluded from the output, which resuls in much smaller files.
Note that if you don't specify an encoding file, the
afm file isn't
re-encoded, but the unused data is still pruned.
The program also generates an entry for a
dvips-style map file, but only
if the
afm file has been re-encoded and the output was written to file
(i.e., if both the
-encoding and
-output options were
specified).
OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS¶
- -help
- Print a short description of the syntax
- -encoding encodingfile
- Re-encode to the enconding in encodingfile
- -output outputfile
- Write the result to outputfile instead of
"stdout".

Option names may be shortened to a unique prefix.
