31 !!DESCRIPTION
32
33
34 This program renders a given type1 !PostScript font at a
35 given pointsize (default 10.0 points) and resolution
36 (default 300dpi) into a TeX pkfont.
37
38
39 To generate the pkfont pk2ps needs a valid type1 fontname
40 (for example Utopia-Regular, Utopia-Regula.pfb or
41 Utopia-Regula.pfa) and its corresponding AFM-file
42 (Utopia-Regular.afm). The program accepts both the MSDOS
43 binary type1 format (Utopia-Regula.pfb) and its ASCII
44 equivalent (Utopia-Regular or Utopia-Regula.pfa). To locate
45 the type1 font and its AFM-file ps2pk will use the
46 environment T1INPUTS if it is set otherwise its built in
47 default (the -v flag will report which filenames are looked
48 for).
49
50
51 The program will make a pkfont in which the character codes
52 are derived from their AFM (Adobe Font Metrics) defined
53 values. This can be overruled by specifying an explicit
54 encoding file via the -e option. The encoding file
55 ''enc'' should contain a valid !PostScript encoding
56 containing !PostScript names like /hyphen. Here is an
57 incomplete example (see afm2tfm for complete
58 syntax):
59
60
61 % This is the EC encoding.

74 Options and arguments:
75
76
77 -a''AFMfile''
78
79
80 Overrules the name that is used to locate the AFM
81 file.
82
83
84 -e''enc''
85
86
87 Name of a file containing an encoding scheme (default - the
88 encoding named in the AFM-file is used). The actual
89 !PostScript name of the encoding scheme is written as a
90
91
92 -E''extension''
93
94
95 The extension factor (real value, default 1.0).
96
97
98 -m''modename''
99
100
101 A modename such as would be used by METAFONT (default
102
103
104 -P''pointsize''
105
106
107 The desired pointsize (real value, default 10.0
108 points).
109
110
111 -R''baseres''
112
113
114 The desired base resolution (integer value, default 300
115 dpi). If this differs from the value of ''xres'', the
116 appropriate magnification will be shown in the
117 ''xres'' of 329,
118 using the default base resolution of 300, will include the
119 ''
120
121
122 -r''aspectratio''
123
124
125 The desired aspect ratio (expression, integerY/integerX,
126 default 300/300). This will be shown in the
127 yres'' but an explicit
128 ''yres'' value will take precedence. Argument must be in
129 ''
130
131
132 -S''slant''
133
134
135 The slant (real value, default 0.0).
136
137
138 -X''xres''
139
140
141 The resolution in the X direction (integer value, default
142 300 dpi).
143
144
145 -Y''yres''
146
147
148 The resolution in the Y direction (integer value, default
149 the value of ''xres''). If ''yres'' differs from
150 ''xres'', a
151 ''
152
153
154 -v Verbose flag. (Tells what the program is
155 doing.)
156
157
158 type1
159
160
161 The name of the !PostScript type1 font. The name of the
162 AFM-file will be constructed from this name by removing the
163 extension (if suplied) and adding
164
165
166 [[pkfont]
167
168
169 The name of the resulting pkfont can be overruled with this
170 name. The default name of pkfont is derived from the
171 basename of the type1 font, the pointsize and ''xres''.
172 For example `ps2pk -P17.28 Utopia-Regular' will result in
173 `Utopia-Regular17.300pk'. An explicit value for the name of
174 the pkfont is necessary when the type1 font name already
175 shows the point size, otherwise the ''pointsize'' value
176 is catenated on to the pkfont basename which is usually not
177 what is wanted.
