NAME
t1mac - translate a PFA or PFB PostScript Type 1 font into Macintosh
format
SYNOPSIS
t1mac [--macbinary | --applesingle | --appledouble | --binhex | --raw]
[--filename name] [input [output]]
DESCRIPTION
t1mac reads a PFA (hexadecimal) or PFB (binary) PostScript Type 1 font
file and generates an equivalent Macintosh Type 1 font file. The output
file can be in MacBinary II, AppleSingle, AppleDouble, or BinHex
format, or it can be a raw resource fork. The default is MacBinary II;
use an option to choose a different format. If the output file is not
specified output goes to the standard output.
WARNING: The output of t1mac is not sufficient to use the font, since
Macintoshes can’t read raw Type 1 fonts. You will need to create a font
suitcase containing bitmap fonts if you do not have such a suitcase for
the font already. t1mac cannot help you do this.
OPTIONS
--raw, -r
Indicates that output should be a raw resource fork.
--macbinary
Indicates that output should be in MacBinary I or II format. This
is the default.
--applesingle
Indicates that output should be in AppleSingle format.
--appledouble
Indicates that output should be in AppleDouble format.
--binhex
Indicates that output should be in BinHex 4.0 format.
--filename=name, -n name
Sets the Macintosh filename of the output font to name. The
default is to construct the filename from the font’s name using
established Macintosh conventions. This option is not useful when
output is a raw resource fork.
