t1ascii

convert PostScript Type 1 font from binary to ASCII

SYNOPSIS

t1ascii [-l length] [input [output]]

DESCRIPTION

t1ascii converts Adobe Type 1 font programs in PFB (binary) format to PFA (hexadecimal) format. 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

--line-length=num, -l num

Set the maximum length of encrypted lines in the output to num. (These are the lines consisting wholly of hexadecimal digits.) The default is 64.

--warnings, -w

Warn when the input font contains lines longer than 255 characters. Long lines don’t strictly conform to Adobe’s Document Structuring Conventions, and may cause problems with older software.
