Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: t1ut...@packages.debian.org, ni...@thykier.net Control: affects -1 + src:t1utils
The t1utils package is "Open For Adoption" (https://lists.debian.org/<519cf3a1-8922-41ce-acea-3a0bc28fd...@thykier.net>).
* If you want to maintain the package, please upload a new version
with you as the maintainer. No need to ITA this bug, file an
ITS, or request permission first
* If you do not want to maintain the package, but see a problem in the
package that I have not fixed, feel to fix it immediately via
"Team Upload" semantics by using the git repo as if you were a
Co-maintainer/Team member. NMUs are also an option as-if the package
was subject to the low NMU threshold.
- Note: Remember that the manta "if you break something, you fix it!"
still applies no matter which option you chose.
The package description is:
The t1utils tools 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.
