Name¶
pfbtops - translate PostScript Printer Font Binary files to
Printer Font ASCII
Description¶
pfbtops translates a PostScript Type 1 font in
Printer Font Binary (PFB) format to Printer Font ASCII (PFA) format,
splitting overlong lines in text packets into smaller chunks. If
pfb-file is omitted, the PFB file will be read from the standard
input stream. The PFA font will be written on the standard output stream.
PostScript fonts for MS-DOS were historically supplied in PFB format. Use of
a PostScript Type 1 font with groff requires conversion of its
metrics (AFM file) to a groff font description file; see
afmtodit(1).
The --help option displays a usage message, while -v
and --version show version information; all exit afterward.
