t1reencode - re-encode a PostScript Type 1 font

t1reencode -e ENCODING [OPTIONS…] font [/outputfile/]

T1reencode changes a PostScript Type 1 font’s embedded encoding. The re-encoded 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 re-encoded 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 re-encode 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 *t1reencode*d fonts.

This command re-encodes 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

This series of commands, which use *() and **() as well as *t1reencode itself, generate a version of Warnock Pro Regular with old-style figures in the slots for numbers (because of otftotfm’s *-f*onum option). The new font will be called WarnockPro-RegularOsF.

      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
