NAME

       t1disasm - disassemble PostScript Type 1 font

SYNOPSIS

       t1disasm [input [output]]

DESCRIPTION

       t1disasm  disassembles  Adobe  Type  1  font  programs  in  either  PFA
       (hexadecimal) or PFB (binary) formats into human-readable form. If  the
       file  output  is  not specified output goes to the standard output.  If
       the file input is not specified input comes from the standard input.

       t1disasm performs eexec and charstring decryption as specified  in  the
       ‘‘black book’’, Adobe Type 1 Font Format.  Additionally, the charstring
       binary tokens are expanded into human-readable  text  form,  using  the
       names  given  in  the  black book and later documents describing Type 2
       opcodes.

EXAMPLES

       % t1disasm Utopia-Regular.pfb Utopia-Regular.raw
       % t1disasm Utopia-Regular.pfa Utopia-Regular.raw

       In Subrs entries in Utopia-Regular.raw will look like
              dup 5 {
                      8 111 vstem
                      -12 128 hstem
                      707 -20 hstem
                      return
                      } |
       and the CharStrings entries like
              /exclam {
                      58 242 hsbw
                      6 callsubr
                      5 4 callsubr
                      63 707 rmoveto
                      -54 0 -5 -22 4 -45 rrcurveto
                      40 -431 rlineto
                      29 hlineto
                      42 431 rlineto
                      4 45 -5 22 -55 0 rrcurveto
                      closepath
                      6 4 callsubr
                      -719 vmoveto
                      243 callsubr
                      endchar
                      } |-
