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
