NAME

t1reencode - re-encode a PostScript Type 1 font

SYNOPSIS

t1reencode -e ENCODING [OPTIONS...] font [ outputfile ]

DESCRIPTION

T1reencode changes a PostScript Type 1 font’s embedded encoding. The re-encoded font is written to the standard output (but see the --output option). If no input font file is supplied, t1reencode reads a PFA or PFB font from the standard input.

OPTIONS

--encoding = file , -e file

Read the encoding from file , which must contain an encoding in dvips (1) format. Alternatively, file can be one of the following special names, in which case the corresponding standard encoding is used.

	Name		Source
	StandardEncoding		Adobe
	ISOLatin1Encoding		Adobe/ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_1_Encoding)
	ExpertEncoding		Adobe
	ExpertSubsetEncoding		Adobe
	SymbolEncoding		Adobe
	ISOLatin2Encoding		ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_2_Encoding)
	ISOLatin3Encoding		ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_3_Encoding)
	ISOLatin4Encoding		ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_4_Encoding)
	ISOCyrillicEncoding		ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_5_Encoding)
	ISOGreekEncoding		ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_7_Encoding)
	ISOLatin5Encoding		ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_9_Encoding)
	ISOLatin6Encoding		ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_10_Encoding)
	ISOThaiEncoding		ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_11_Encoding)
	ISOLatin7Encoding		ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_13_Encoding)
	ISOLatin8Encoding		ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_14_Encoding)
	ISOLatin9Encoding		ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_15_Encoding)
	KOI8REncoding		-

--encoding-text = text , -E text

Use the encoding in the text argument, which must be formatted as a dvips (1) encoding. One of --encoding and --encoding-text must be supplied.

--name = name , -n name

Set the output font’s PostScript name to name . The default is the input font name followed by the encoding’s name.

--full-name = name , -N name

Set the output font’s FullName to name . The default is the input FullName followed by the encoding’s name.

--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.

-h , --help

Print usage information and exit.

--version

Print the version number and some short non-warranty information and exit.

RETURN VALUES

T1reencode exits with value 0 if a re-encoded font was successfully generated, and 1 otherwise.

NOTES

T1reencode should be used only in special situations. It’s generally much better to use PostScript commands to re-encode a font; for instance, executing the PostScript commands to generate two differently-encoded versions of a single font will take up much less memory than loading two t1reencode d fonts.

EXAMPLES

This command re-encodes Frutiger Roman in the ISO Latin 1 encoding. The new font will have the PostScript name Frutiger-RomanISOLatin1Encoding.

t1reencode -e ISOLatin1Encoding FrutiRom.pfb \
-o FrutiRomISOL1.pfb

This series of commands, which use cfftot1 (1) and otftotfm (1) as well as t1reencode itself, generate a version of Warnock Pro Regular with old-style figures in the slots for numbers (because of otftotfm ’s -f onum option). The new font will be called WarnockPro-RegularOsF.

otftotfm -f onum WarnockPro-Regular.otf \
--output-encoding /tmp/osf.enc
cfftot1 WarnockPro-Regular.otf | t1reencode -e /tmp/osf.enc \
-n WarnockPro-RegularOsF -N "Warnock Pro Regular OsF" \
-o WarnoProRegOsF.pfb
