- 1. General
- AfmMaker is a utility program which generates a bare bone AFM file
- for a postscript outline font. To install a postscript font, its AFM
- file is necessary. However, some outline fonts do not come with
- AFM files. If those fonts are Adobe Type I fonts, you can get
- their AFM files from Adobe's mail file server. Otherwise, you have
- to create them by hands. AfmMaker helps you doing that. It generates
- AFM files which will make the font usable in the NeXT computers.
- If you want to add more information such as kerning, you can edit
- the generated AFM files by hands.
-
- We have used this utility to create AFM files for third party Type 3
- postscript fonts.
