Name
pfbtops - translate PostScript Printer Font Binary files to
Printer Font ASCII
Synopsis
pfbtops [pfb-file]
pfbtops --help
pfbtops -v
pfbtops --version
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.
