Overview

composeglyphs is a script to generate either an encoding vector or a new font for postscript. It requires a pre-existing AFM and allows for the use of composite characters that AFM does not already provide.

-e encoding.afm

The base encoding AFM to use.

-E encoding.ps

The encoding vector to output.

-i input.afm

The AFM of the original font.

-o output.ps

The font program to generate.

-c composite.afm

The AFM containing supplementary composite character information.

-n newname

The name of the new font.

-t target_encoding.afm

The target encoding.

-a output.afm

The name of the AFM file to generate.

Notes

composeglyphs is a part of Ogonkify, which comes with the a2ps distribution.

If you create new AFMs or modify existing ones, the author asks that you kindly send him a copy so that he may include them in the distribution.
