- !T1ToFont
- =========
-
- The !T1ToFont application converts fonts in Adobe
- Type 1 format to the RISC OS font file format,
- allowing these fonts to be used by the RISC OS
- font manager.
-
- Please refer to the User Guide for details of this
- application.

- -----------------------------------------
-
- If you have a Type 1 file but no corresponding AFM
- file, you can produce a usable font. Simply leave
- the 'AFM file' field blank. The resulting font
- will lack kerning information, so do use the AFM
- file if you have it.
-
- Most alphabetic fonts should convert successfully
- with the Encoding field set to "Acorn Extended
- Latin". Some symbol fonts have their own private
- encoding; for these it is recommended that you
- select "As specified in Type 1 file" from the
- Encoding menu. This causes the font's internal
- encoding to be used, ensuring that the glyphs are
- placed at the correct character codes. The
- encoding is also deposited in a file named
- "Encoding" in the font's directory, where the font
- manager and printer drivers can make use of it.
