PS2PK !!!PS2PK NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SEE ALSO VERSION AUTHOR ---- !!NAME ps2pk - creates a TeX pkfont from a type1 !PostScript font !!SYNOPSIS pk2pk [[ ''options''] type1 [[pkfont] options: -v -e''enc'' -X''xres'' -E''expansion'' -S''slant'' options: -P''pointsize'' -R''baseres'' -r''aspectratio'' options: -Y''yres'' -a''AFMfile'' -m''modename'' !!DESCRIPTION This program renders a given type1 !PostScript font at a given pointsize (default 10.0 points) and resolution (default 300dpi) into a TeX pkfont. To generate the pkfont pk2ps needs a valid type1 fontname (for example Utopia-Regular, Utopia-Regula.pfb or Utopia-Regula.pfa) and its corresponding AFM-file (Utopia-Regular.afm). The program accepts both the MSDOS binary type1 format (Utopia-Regula.pfb) and its ASCII equivalent (Utopia-Regular or Utopia-Regula.pfa). To locate the type1 font and its AFM-file ps2pk will use the environment T1INPUTS if it is set otherwise its built in default (the -v flag will report which filenames are looked for). The program will make a pkfont in which the character codes are derived from their AFM (Adobe Font Metrics) defined values. This can be overruled by specifying an explicit encoding file via the -e option. The encoding file ''enc'' should contain a valid !PostScript encoding containing !PostScript names like /hyphen. Here is an incomplete example (see afm2tfm for complete syntax): % This is the EC encoding. /ECEncoding [[ % now 256 chars follow % 0x00 /grave /acute /circumflex /tilde /dieresis /hungarumlaut /ring /caron /breve /macron /dotaccent /cedilla /ogonek /quotesinglbase /guilsinglleft /guilsinglright (Rest of lines omitted.) % 0xF0 /eth /ntilde /ograve /oacute /ocircumflex /otilde /odieresis /oe /oslash /ugrave /uacute /ucircumflex /udieresis /yacute /thorn /germandbls ] def Options and arguments: -a''AFMfile'' Overrules the name that is used to locate the AFM file. -e''enc'' Name of a file containing an encoding scheme (default - the encoding named in the AFM-file is used). The actual !PostScript name of the encoding scheme is written as a -E''extension'' The extension factor (real value, default 1.0). -m''modename'' A modename such as would be used by METAFONT (default -P''pointsize'' The desired pointsize (real value, default 10.0 points). -R''baseres'' The desired base resolution (integer value, default 300 dpi). If this differs from the value of ''xres'', the appropriate magnification will be shown in the ''xres'' of 329, using the default base resolution of 300, will include the '' -r''aspectratio'' The desired aspect ratio (expression, integerY/integerX, default 300/300). This will be shown in the yres'' but an explicit ''yres'' value will take precedence. Argument must be in '' -S''slant'' The slant (real value, default 0.0). -X''xres'' The resolution in the X direction (integer value, default 300 dpi). -Y''yres'' The resolution in the Y direction (integer value, default the value of ''xres''). If ''yres'' differs from ''xres'', a '' -v Verbose flag. (Tells what the program is doing.) type1 The name of the !PostScript type1 font. The name of the AFM-file will be constructed from this name by removing the extension (if suplied) and adding [[pkfont] The name of the resulting pkfont can be overruled with this name. The default name of pkfont is derived from the basename of the type1 font, the pointsize and ''xres''. For example `ps2pk -P17.28 Utopia-Regular' will result in `Utopia-Regular17.300pk'. An explicit value for the name of the pkfont is necessary when the type1 font name already shows the point size, otherwise the ''pointsize'' value is catenated on to the pkfont basename which is usually not what is wanted.
