t1reencode: Re-encode a postscript type 1 font

SYNOPSIS

t1reencode -e ENCODING [OPTIONS...] font [outputfile]

DESCRIPTION

T1reencode changes a PostScript Type\~1 font's embedded encoding. The re-encoded font is written to the standard output (but see the --output option). If no input font file is supplied, t1reencode reads a PFA or PFB font from the standard input.

OPTIONS

--encoding=file, -e file

Read the encoding from file, which must contain an encoding in \$1(\$2)\$3 format. Alternatively, file can be one of the following special names, in which case the corresponding standard encoding is used.

Name: Source
StandardEncoding: Adobe
ISOLatin1Encoding: Adobe/ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_1_Encoding)
ExpertEncoding: Adobe
ExpertSubsetEncoding: Adobe
SymbolEncoding: Adobe
ISOLatin2Encoding: ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_2_Encoding)
ISOLatin3Encoding: ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_3_Encoding)
ISOLatin4Encoding: ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_4_Encoding)
ISOCyrillicEncoding: ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_5_Encoding)
ISOGreekEncoding: ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_7_Encoding)
ISOLatin5Encoding: ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_9_Encoding)
ISOLatin6Encoding: ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_10_Encoding)
ISOThaiEncoding: ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_11_Encoding)
ISOLatin7Encoding: ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_13_Encoding)
ISOLatin8Encoding: ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_14_Encoding)
ISOLatin9Encoding: ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_15_Encoding)
KOI8REncoding: -

--encoding-text=text, -E text

Use the encoding in the text argument, which must be formatted as a encoding. One of --encoding and --encoding-text must be supplied.

--name=name, -n name

Set the output font's PostScript name to name. The default is the input font name followed by the encoding's name.

--full-name=name, -N name

Set the output font's FullName to name. The default is the input FullName followed by the encoding's name.

--output=file, -o file

Send output to file instead of standard output.

--pfb, -b

Output a PFB font. This is the default.

--pfa, -a

Output a PFA font.

-h, --help

Print usage information and exit.

--version

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

RETURN VALUES

T1reencode exits with value 0 if a re-encoded font was successfully generated, and 1 otherwise.

NOTES

T1reencode should be used only in special situations. It's generally much better to use PostScript commands to re-encode a font; for instance, executing the PostScript commands to generate two differently-encoded versions of a single font will take up much less memory than loading two t1reencoded fonts.

EXAMPLES

This command re-encodes Frutiger Roman in the ISO Latin\~1 encoding. The new font will have the PostScript name Frutiger-RomanISOLatin1Encoding.

    t1reencode -e ISOLatin1Encoding FrutiRom.pfb \
            -o FrutiRomISOL1.pfb

This series of commands, which use and as well as t1reencode itself, generate a version of Warnock Pro Regular with old-style figures in the slots for numbers (because of otftotfm's -fonum option). The new font will be called WarnockPro-RegularOsF.

    otftotfm -fonum WarnockPro-Regular.otf \
            --output-encoding /tmp/osf.enc
    cfftot1 WarnockPro-Regular.otf | t1reencode -e /tmp/osf.enc \
            -n WarnockPro-RegularOsF -N "Warnock Pro Regular OsF" \
            -o WarnoProRegOsF.pfb
