t1dotlessj1

Create a dotless-j postscript type 1 font

Usage

t1dotlessj [OPTIONS ...] font [outputfile]

Overview

T1dotlessj creates a PostScript Type 1 font whose only character is a dotless 'j' matching the input font's design. It works simply by removing the dot from the input font's 'j'. The output font has three characters: '.notdef', 'space', and 'uni0237', where 'uni0237' is the dotless 'j'. The command fails if the input font already has a dotless 'j' character, or if there seems to be no dot to remove. T1dotlessj writes the created PFA or PFB font to the standard output (but see the --output option); if no input file is supplied, it reads a PFA or PFB font from the standard input.

Options

--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.

--name=name, -n name

Set the output font's PostScript name to name. The default is InputFontNameLCDFJ.

-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.
