If .I pfb-file is omitted, the PFB file will be read from the standard input stream. . The PFA font will be written on the standard output stream. . PostScript fonts for MS-DOS were historically supplied in PFB format. . Use of a PostScript Type\~1 font with .I groff requires conversion of its metrics (AFM file) to a .I groff font description file; see .MR afmtodit 1 . . . .P The .B \-\-help option displays a usage message, while .B \-v and .B \-\-version show version information; all exit afterward. . . .\" ==================================================================== .SH "See also" .\" ==================================================================== . .MR grops 1 , .MR gropdf 1 . . .\" Restore compatibility mode (for, e.g., Solaris 10/11). .cp \n[*groff_pfbtops_1_man_C] .do rr *groff_pfbtops_1_man_C . . .\" Local Variables: .\" fill-column: 72 .\" mode: nroff .\" End: .\" vim: set filetype=groff textwidth=72:
