I've created unofficial Debian packages for Eddie Kohler's
mminstance 1.13 and t1utils 1.18 distributions. They're available
as source and in Debian packages for PowerPC systems on my Web
site, at <http://www.eskimo.com/~c/debian/>.
Some additional information about these packages (from apt-cache
show):
Package: mminstance
Priority: optional
Section: text
Installed-Size: 480
Maintainer: C.M. Connelly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Version: 1.13-1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libstdc++2.10
Description: Multiple master font utilities to create AFM or PFB files.
Mmafm creates an AFM file (font metrics) corresponding to an instance
of a multiple-master font. It reads the AMFM and AFM files distributed
with the font.
.
Mmpfb creates a normal, single-master font program which looks like an
instance of a multiple-master font. It reads the multiple master font
program in PFA or PFB format.
.
These tools let you use multiple masters with programs that require
single-master fonts (afm2tfm, ps2pk, fontinst, etc.). Both programs
work fine with fonts which contain intermediate masters (Adobe Jenson
and Kepler); see `Intermediate Masters' below.
Package: t1utils-ek
Priority: optional
Section: text
Installed-Size: 276
Maintainer: C.M. Connelly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Version: 1.18-1
Replaces: t1utils
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2)
Conflicts: t1utils
Description: A collection of simple Type 1 font manipulation programs.
t1utils is a collection of simple type-1 font manipulation programs.
Together, they allow you to convert between PFA (ASCII) and PFB
(binary) formats; disassemble PFA or PFB files into human-readable
form; and reassemble the human-readable files into PFA or PFB format
files. You can also extract font resources from a Macintosh font
file (ATM/Laserwriter), or create a Macintosh Type 1 font file from a
PFA or PFB font.
.
There are currently six programs:
.
t1ascii Converts PFB files to PFA format.
.
t1binary Converts PFA files to PFB format.
.
t1disasm Disassembles a Type 1 font (PFA or PFB format) into a raw,
human-readable text form for subsequent hand editing,
tweaking, hint fixing, etcetera...
.
t1asm Assembles a Type 1 font into PFA or PFB format from
the human-readable form produced by t1disasm.
.
t1unmac Extracts POST resources from a Macintosh Type 1 font file
(ATM/Laserwriter) into PFA or PFB format for use outside
the Macintosh environment. The Macintosh file should be
stored in MacBinary, AppleSingle, AppleDouble, or BinHex
format, or as a raw resource fork. Note that t1unmac does
not have to run on a Macintosh, but makes Macintosh Type 1
fonts available for use on Unix machines and PCs.
.
t1mac Creates a Macintosh Type 1 file from a PFA- or PFB-format
Type 1 font. Writes the Macintosh file in MacBinary,
AppleSingle, AppleDouble, or BinHex format, or as a raw
resource fork. WARNING: This tool will not suffice to
allow you to use the new font on a Macintosh, as
Macintoshes cannot read raw Type 1 fonts. You will need
to create a font suitcase containing bitmap fonts. If you
do not already have such a suitcase for the font, T1utils
will not help you create one.
.
This version of the t1utils programs has been maintained by Eddie
Kohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> since version 1.5, based on the
original code by I. Lee Hetherington. As such, it is a complete
replacement for the t1utils Debian package, which is based on version
1.2 of I. Lee Hetherington's code.
These are my first packages, so please feel free to offer any
advice or pointers if I messed up. Note that t1utils-ek *will*
uninstall t1utils; unless you have applications that depend on the
old versions, that's a good thing.
