Sommaire

NAME

font2afm - create font metrics (in afm format) for (almost) any font file

SYNOPSIS

font2afm [options] font ...

font2afm [options] @filelist

DESCRIPTION

font2afm generates font metrics (in Adobe's afm format) for Type1, TrueType and OpenType fonts.

font2afm is just a wrapper script around several utilities (cfftot1, pf2afm, ttf2afm, pfm2kpx and ot2kpx) that do the real work. All these utilities need to be available on your system.

OPTIONS


-f
Force overwriting of existing afm files.

FILES


font
This can be any Type1 (in either pfa or pfb format), TrueType or OpenType (both PostScript- and TrueType-flavored) font.
filelist
This should contain a newline-separated list of font filenames.
