t1reencode - reencode a PostScript Type 1 font

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

T1reencode changes a PostScript Type~1 font's embedded encoding. The reencoded 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.

--encoding=file, -e file Read the encoding from file, which must contain an encoding in format. Alternatively, file can be one of the following special names, in which case the corresponding standard encoding is used.

-

--encoding-text=text, -E text Use the encoding in the text argument, which must be formatted as a 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.

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

T1reencode should be used only in special situations. It's generally much better to use PostScript commands to reencode 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 t1reencoded fonts.

This command reencodes 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

    otftotfm -fonum 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
