- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
- REFONT is a Postscript type 1 font utility that allows you to use MAC type 1
- fonts on IBMPC machines with Windows and ATM. With REFONT you can:
- 1) Convert MAC format type 1 outlines to IBM format type 1 outlines.
- 2) Convert MAC format type 1 outlines to ASCII hex format type 1 outlines.
- 3) Convert Postscript AFM files to Windows compatible PFM files.
-
- USING REFONT
- ------------
- Start REFONT by typeing REFONT at the prompt. REFONT prompts you for an
- AFM file, then for a font outline file. If you don't want to generate one
- of these, just hit return.
- For ATM:
- Name the output of the AFM file "font.PFM" and name the output of the
- outline file "font.PFB", where "font" is any convenient name. Pick the
- "B" option for the font outline. Now these files can be installed with
- ATM.
- For an ascii font:
- Skip the first prompt and pick the "A" option for the font outline.
-
- V1.1 CHANGES
- ------------
- Refont 1.0 did not expect Macbinary headers when generating PFB files
- (it would output INVALID FONT FORMAT). Version 1.1 skips the header.
- Fixed incorrect widths on upper characters in fonts with
- non-StandardEncoding vectors.
-
- REGISTRATION
- ------------
- A registration fee of $20.00 will get you a Windows version (Wrefont V3.0)
- which does everything this version does and more: you can generate AFM or
- PFM files from the font outlines, convert PC PFB files to MAC MacBinary
- files, and convert binary PFB files into ASCII and back again. Users
- already registered for Wrefont 2.x can receive version 3.0 for $3.00
- to cover S&H.
