t1rawafm Manual

t1rawafm

produce raw AFM metrics from a PostScript Type 1 font

SYNOPSIS

t1rawafm [OPTIONS...] [font [outputfile]]

DESCRIPTION

T1rawafm generates an AFM file with the information available in a PostScript Type 1 font. The AFM file will lack kerns, ligature information, and composite characters, but is otherwise usable. The AFM file is written to the standard output (but see the --output option). If no input font file is supplied, t1rawafm reads a PFA or PFB font from the standard input.

OPTIONS

--output=file, -o file

Send output to file instead of standard output.

-h, --help

Print usage information and exit.

--version

Print the version number and some short non-warranty information and exit.

RETURN VALUES

T1rawafm exits with value 0 if an AFM metrics file was successfully generated, and 1 otherwise.
