Generate a PK font from an Adobe Type 1 font
Generates a PK file from an Adobe Type 1 font. PK fonts are (or used to be) valuable in enabling previewers to view documents generated that use Type 1 fonts. The program makes use of code donated to the X consortium by IBM.
Utilities for manipulating PostScript documents
PSUtils is a suite of utilities for manipulating PostScript documents produced according to the Document Structuring Conventions. You can select and rearrange pages, including arrangement into signatures for booklet printing, combine multple pages into a single page for n-up printing, and resize, flip and rotate pages.
Produce PostScript Type 1 fonts from Metafont source
mf2pt1 facilitates producing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a Metafont source file. It is not, as the name may imply, an automatic converter of arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format. mf2pt1 imposes a number of restrictions on the Metafont input. If these restrictions are met, mf2pt1 will produce valid Type 1 output with more accurate control points than can be reverse-engineered by TeXtrace, mftrace, and other programs which convert bitmaps to outline fonts.
Utilities to derive new fonts from existing ones
The accfonts package contains three utilities to permit easy manipulation of fonts, in particular the creation of unusual accented characters. Mkt1font works on Adobe Type 1 fonts, vpl2vpl works on TeX virtual fonts and vpl2ovp transforms a TeX font to an Omega one. All three programs read in a font (either the font itself or a property list), together with a simple definition file containing lines such as '128 z acute'; they then write out a new version of the font with the requested new characters in the numerical slots specified. Great care is taken over the positioning of accents, and over the provision of kerning information for new characters; mkt1font also generates suitable "hints" to enhance quality at small sizes or poor resolutions. The programs are written in Perl.
These files are regarded as basic for any TeX system, covering plain TeX macros, Computer Modern fonts, and configuration for common drivers; no LaTeX.
This is a collection of dvips PostScript header and dvips config files. They control certain features of the printer, including: A4, A3, usletter, simplex, duplex / long edge, duplex / short edge, screen frequencies of images, black/white invers, select transparency / paper for tektronix 550/560, manual feeder, envelope feeder, and tray 1, 2 and 3, and printing a PostScript grid underneath the page material--very useful for measuring and eliminating paper feed errors!
Convert EPS to 'encapsulated' PDF using Ghostscript
Epstopdf is a Perl script that converts an EPS file to an 'encapsulated' PDF file (a single page file whose media box is the same as the original EPS's bounding box). The resulting file suitable for inclusion by PDFTeX as an image. The script is adapted to run both on Windows and on Unix-alike systems. The script makes use of Ghostscript for the actual conversion to PDF. It assumes Ghostscript version 6.51 or later, and (by default) suppresses its automatic rotation of pages where most of the text is not horizontal. LaTeX users may make use of the epstopdf package, which will run the epstopdf script "on the fly", thus giving the illusion that PDFLaTeX is accepting EPS graphic files.
The TeX Live software distribution offers a complete TeX system for a variety of Unix, Macintosh, Windows and other platforms. It encompasses programs for editing, typesetting, previewing and printing of TeX documents in many different languages, and a large collection of TeX macros and font libraries. The distribution includes extensive general documentation about TeX, as well as the documentation for the included software packages.
Programs for conversion between font formats, testing fonts, virtual fonts, .gf and .pk manipulation, mft, fontinst, etc. Manipulating OpenType, TrueType, Type 1,and for manipulation of PostScript and other image formats.
Help with installing fonts for TeX and LaTeX
TeX macros for converting Adobe Font Metric files to TeX metric and virtual font format. Fontinst helps mainly with the number crunching and shovelling parts of font installation. This means in practice that it creates a number of files which give the TeX metrics (and related information) for a font family that (La)TeX needs to do any typesetting in these fonts. Fontinst furthermore makes it easy to create fonts containing glyphs from more than one base font, taking advantage of (e.g.) "expert" font sets. Fontinst cannot examine files to see if they contain any useful information, nor automatically search for files or work with binary file formats; those tasks must normally be done manually or with the help of some other tool, such as the pltotf and vptovf programs.
Produce Encapsulated PostScript from PostScript
Produce Encapsulated PostScript Files (EPS/EPSF) from a one-page PostScript document, or any PostScript document. A correct Bounding Box is calculated for the EPS files and some PostScript command sequences that can produce erroneous results on printers are filtered. The input is cropped to include just the image contained in the PostScript file. The EPS files can then be included into TeX documents. Other programs like ps2epsi (a script distributed with ghostscript) don't always calculate the correct bounding box (because the values are put on the PostScript stack which may get corrupted by bad PostScript code) or they round it off, resulting in clipping the image. Therefore ps2eps uses a resolution of 144 dpi to get the correct bounding box. Included in the distribution is the bbox program, an application to produce Bounding Box values for rawppm or rawpbm format files.
Tools to simplify using fonts (especially TT/OTF ones)
This package provides a few tools to ease using fonts (especially Truetype/Opentype ones) with Latex and fontinst: afm2afm - reencode .afm files; designed to replace fontinst's \reencodefont for big .afm files; autoinst - simplify the use of the LCDF TypeTools by creating a command file for otftotfm, plus .fd and .sty files; and ot2kpx - extract all kerning pairs from an OpenType font.
Collection of Type 1 and 2 font manipulation utilities
t1utils is a collection of programs for manipulating PostScript type 1 and type 2 fonts containing programs to convert between PFA (ASCII) format, PFB (binary) format, a human-readable and editable ASCII format, and Macintosh resource forks.
A bundle of outline font manipulation tools
This bundle of tools comprises: Cfftot1, which translates a Compact Font Format (CFF) font, or a PostScript-flavored OpenType font, into PostScript Type 1 format. It correctly handles subroutines and hints; Mmafm and mmpfb, which create instances of multiple-master fonts (mmafm and mmpfb were previously distributed in their own package, mminstance); Otfinfo, which reports information about OpenType fonts, such as the features they support and the contents of their 'size' optical size features; Otftotfm, which creates TeX font metrics and encodings that correspond to a PostScript-flavored OpenType font. It will interpret glyph positionings, substitutions, and ligatures as far as it is able. You can say which OpenType features should be activated; T1dotlessj, creates a Type 1 font whose only character is a dotless j matching the input font's design; T1lint, which checks a Type 1 font for correctness; T1reencode, which replaces a font's internal encoding with one you specify; and T1testpage, which creates a PostScript proof for a Type 1 font.
A Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file may given in a special binary format to support the inclusion of a thumbnail. This file format, commonly known as DOS EPS format starts with a binary header that contains the positions of the possible sections: Postscript (PS); Windows Metafile Format (WMF); and Tag Image File Format (TIFF). The PS section must be present and either the WMF file or the TIFF file should be given. The package provides a Perl program that will extract any of the sections of such a file, in particular providing a 'text'-form EPS file for use with (La)TeX.
