t1dotlessj Manual

t1dotlessj

create a dotless-j PostScript Type 1 font

SYNOPSIS

t1dotlessj [OPTIONS...] font [outputfile]

DESCRIPTION

T1dotlessj creates a PostScript Type 1 font whose only character is a dotless ’j’ matching the input font’s design. It works simply by removing the dot from the input font’s ’j’. The output font has three characters: ’.notdef’, ’space’, and ’uni0237’, where ’uni0237’ is the dotless ’j’. The command fails if the input font already has a dotless ’j’ character, or if there seems to be no dot to remove. T1dotlessj writes the created PFA or PFB font to the standard output (but see the --output option); if no input file is supplied, it reads a PFA or PFB font from the standard input.

--pfa, -a

--name=name, -n name

-v, --version
