NAME

        t1asm - assemble type-1 font

        SYNOPSIS

        t1asm [ -b ] [ ] [ input [ output ] ]

        DESCRIPTION

        t1asm assembles Adobe  type-1  font  programs  into  either  PFA
        (hexadecimal)  or  PFB  (binary)  formats  from a human-readable
        form.  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. In this way t1disasm can be used  as  a
        filter.

        t1disasm  tokenizes  the  charstring data and performs eexec and
        charstring encryption as specified in  the  Adobe  Type  1  Font
        Format, the Adobe black book.

        The input is required to have a line of the form
             /-|{string currentfile exch readstring pop}executeonly def
        which  defines  the command, in this case `-|', that is to start
        charstring data.  It is an error not to define such  a  command.
        Another common name for this command is `RD'.

        After the start of the Subrs array in the input, all open braces
        `{' not in a comment begin a charstring.  Such a  charstring  is
        terminated by the next non-comment close brace `}'.  Within such
        a charstring, only  comments,  integers,  and  valid  charstring
        commands  are  allowed.  The format within a charstring is unim-
        portant as long as integers and commands  are  separated  by  at
        least  a  one  whitespace (space, tab, newling) character.  Note
        that within charstrings, comments  are  discarded  because  they
        cannot be encoded.

        OPTIONS

        -b  Output  in  PFB  (binary)  format. Set the maximum length of
        sections in PFB output to length. Default value is large,  2**17
        -  6,  yielding  section  size, including section header, of 128
        Kbytes. length has no effect on PFA output.
