t1ascii(1)


NAME

   t1ascii - convert PostScript Type 1 font from binary to ASCII

SYNOPSIS

   t1ascii [-l length] [input [output]]

DESCRIPTION

   t1ascii  converts  Adobe Type 1 font programs in PFB (binary) format to
   PFA (hexadecimal) format. If the file output is  not  specified  output
   goes  to the standard output.  If the file input is not specified input
   comes from the standard input.

OPTIONS

   --line-length=num, -l num
        Set the maximum length of encrypted lines in the  output  to  num.
        (These are the lines consisting wholly of hexadecimal digits.) The
        default is 64.

   --warnings, -w
        Warn  when  the  input  font  contains  lines  longer   than   255
        characters.  Long lines don't strictly conform to Adobe's Document
        Structuring  Conventions,  and  may  cause  problems  with   older
        software.
