T1REENCODE(1)               General Commands Manual              T1REENCODE(1)

NAME
       t1reencode - re-encode a PostScript Type 1 font

SYNOPSIS
       t1reencode -e ENCODING [OPTIONS...]  font [outputfile]

DESCRIPTION
       T1reencode changes a PostScript Type 1 font's embedded encoding.  The
       re-encoded font is written to the standard output (but see the --output
       option).  If no input font file is supplied, t1reencode reads a PFA or
       PFB font from the standard input.

OPTIONS
       --encoding=file, -e file
            Read the encoding from file, which must contain an encoding in
            dvips(1) format.  Alternatively, file can be one of the following
            special names, in which case the corresponding standard encoding
            is used.

       --encoding-text=text, -E text
            Use the encoding in the text argument, which must be formatted as
            a dvips(1) encoding.  One of --encoding and --encoding-text must
            be supplied.

       --name=name, -n name
            Set the output font's PostScript name to name.  The default is the
            input font name followed by the encoding's name.

       --full-name=name, -N name
            Set the output font's FullName to name.  The default is the input
            FullName followed by the encoding's name.

       --output=file, -o file
            Send output to file instead of standard output.

       --pfb, -b
            Output a PFB font.  This is the default.

       --pfa, -a
            Output a PFA font.

       -h, --help
            Print usage information and exit.

       --version
            Print the version number and some short non-warranty information
            and exit.

RETURN VALUES
       T1reencode exits with value 0 if a re-encoded font was successfully
       generated, and 1 otherwise.

NOTES
       T1reencode should be used only in special situations.  It's generally
       much better to use PostScript commands to re-encode a font; for
       instance, executing the PostScript commands to generate two
       differently-encoded versions of a single font will take up much less
       memory than loading two t1reencoded fonts.

EXAMPLES
       This command re-encodes Frutiger Roman in the ISO Latin 1 encoding.
       The new font will have the PostScript name Frutiger-
       RomanISOLatin1Encoding.

           t1reencode -e ISOLatin1Encoding FrutiRom.pfb \
                   -o FrutiRomISOL1.pfb

       This series of commands, which use cfftot1(1) and otftotfm(1) as well
       as t1reencode itself, generate a version of Warnock Pro Regular with
       old-style figures in the slots for numbers (because of otftotfm's
       -fonum option).  The new font will be called WarnockPro-RegularOsF.

           otftotfm -fonum WarnockPro-Regular.otf \
                   --output-encoding /tmp/osf.enc
           cfftot1 WarnockPro-Regular.otf | t1reencode -e /tmp/osf.enc \
                   -n WarnockPro-RegularOsF -N "Warnock Pro Regular OsF" \
                   -o WarnoProRegOsF.pfb
