NAME

       ttftotype42 - create PostScript Type 42 wrapper of TrueType font

SYNOPSIS

       ttftotype42 [input [output]]

DESCRIPTION

       Ttftotype42   converts  TrueType  or  TrueType-flavored  OpenType  font
       programs into PostScript Type 42 format, which is  a  wrapper  for  the
       TrueType  outlines.   This  conversion  preserves all outlines and hint
       information from the original TrueType font. The Type 42  wrapper  uses
       glyph  names identical to those expected by pdflatex(1) or otftotfm(1),
       so encoding files suitable for TrueType fonts and  pdflatex  will  also
       work  for  the  Type  42 fonts and dvips(1).  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.

OPTIONS

       -o file, --output file
            Write output font to file instead of the standard output.

       -q, --quiet
            Do not generate any error messages.

       -h, --help
            Print usage information and exit.

       -v, --version
            Print  the  version number and some short non-warranty information
            and exit.
