- ttf2pt1 3.3.4 Amiga
- -------------------
-
- This is my little Amiga port of ttf2pt1, a Truetype to Postscript font
- converter. Contrary to the last available Amiga port, the type 1 assembler
- has been compiled into the binary, so I think it's easier to use.
-
- For those who just want to start and don't want to bother with manuals.
- For what you'll usually want to do with it, invoke it as:
-
- ttf2pt1 -b <truetype file> [<postscript file>]
-
- which will create all necessary font files. If the postscript file name
- is missing, it'll use the truetype file name as a base name.
-
- I've provided a tiny script to help converting an entire directory.
- ttf2pt1-conv will convert all files in the current directory ending with
- "#?.ttf" to Postscript fonts with #?.pfb and #?.afm files. Optionally,
- you can provide a destination path in the command line. Due to the
- limitations of the Shell, you must specify a slash (/) after the
- directory name, like:
-
- ttf2pt1-conv Postscript/
-
- which will convert all fonts in the current directory and place them in
- a subdirectory called Postscript. Perhaps an ARexx script could do it
- nicer, but this should suffice for most uses.
-
- For extended usage, well, maybe you really should bother with the docs
- then ... :-)
-
- There are versions for 68k and WarpOS.
-
- Enjoy,
