- Utility package to manipulate fonts.
- .description
- You can manipulate fonts in various ways using the utilities:
- conversion of a scanned image to a bitmap font, hand-editing of
- bitmaps, conversion of a bitmap font to an outline font, and more.
- More generally, you can start with a scanned image of artwork and work
- your way through to a finished font with side bearings, accented
- characters, ligatures, and so on.
-
- The font formats recognized by these programs are primarily those used
- by the (freely available) TeX typesetting system developed by Donald
- E. Knuth from 1977--1990. The filenames, font searching, and other
- aspects of their usage are also based on TeX. They also support
- output of PostScript Type 1 fonts.
