texlive-lcdftypetools 2025.2

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.
