texlive-lcdftypetools

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;
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, which 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;
t1testpage, which creates a PostScript proof for a Type 1 font.
