ttftotype42 - create PostScript Type 42 wrapper of TrueType font

ttftotype42 [/input/ [/output/]]

Ttftotype42 converts TrueType or TrueType-flavored OpenType font programs into PostScript Type 42 format, which is a wrapper for the TrueType outlines. This conversion preserves all outlines and hint information from the original TrueType font. The Type 42 wrapper uses glyph names identical to those expected by *() or **() so encoding files suitable for TrueType fonts and *pdflatex will also work for the Type 42 fonts and **() 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.

-o*/ file, /–output*/ file/

Write output font to file instead of the standard output.

-q, –quiet

Do not generate any error messages.

-h, –help

Print usage information and exit.

-v, –version

Print the version number and some short non-warranty information and exit.
