2. ttf2type1 (TrueType -> Adobe Type 1)

This is a wrapper to simplify mass conversion of TrueType fonts to Adobe Type 1 fonts, necessary for some programs such as WordPerfect which support Type 1 but not TrueType fonts. ttf2type1 accepts any number of .ttf files and produces Type 1 .pfb font files and .afm font metric files.

2.1 Usage

ttf2type1 fontfile.ttf [fontfile2.ttf [fontfile3.ttf ...]]

Converts fontfile*.ttf -> fontfile*.pfb & fontfile.afm

2.2 Requirements

The external programs ttf2pt1, ttf2pfa, and t1asm from the t1utils are needed. These are available from http://www.netspace.net.au/~mheath/ttf2pt1/.

2.3 Bugs

Will overwrite and delete any existing .pfa files in the working directory with the same names as the TrueType font files.
