NAME
       ttftotype42 - create PostScript Type 42 wrapper of TrueType font

SYNOPSIS
       ttftotype42 [input [output]]

DESCRIPTION
       Ttftotype42 converts TrueType or TrueType-flavored OpenType font
       programs into PostScript Type 42 format, which is a wrapper for the
       TrueType outlines.  This conversion preserves all outlines and hint
       information from the original TrueType font. The Type 42 wrapper uses
       glyph names identical to those expected by pdflatex(1) or otftotfm(1),
       so encoding files suitable for TrueType fonts and pdflatex will also
       work for the Type 42 fonts and dvips(1).  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.

OPTIONS
       -o file, --output file
            Write output font to file instead of the standard output.

       -q, --quiet
            Do not generate any error messages.

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

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