NAME
ps2pk - creates a TeX pkfont from a type1 PostScript font
SYNOPSIS
pk2pk [ options] type1 [pkfont]
options: -v -eenc -Xxres -Eexpansion -Sslant
options: -Ppointsize -Rbaseres -raspectratio
options: -Yyres -aAFMfile -mmodename
DESCRIPTION
This program renders a given type1 PostScript font at a
given pointsize (default 10.0 points) and resolution
(default 300dpi) into a TeX pkfont.
To generate the pkfont pk2ps needs a valid type1 fontname
(for example Utopia-Regular, Utopia-Regula.pfb or Utopia-
Regula.pfa) and its corresponding AFM-file (Utopia-
Regular.afm). The program accepts both the MSDOS binary
type1 format (Utopia-Regula.pfb) and its ASCII equivalent
(Utopia-Regular or Utopia-Regula.pfa). To locate the type1
font and its AFM-file ps2pk will use the environment
T1INPUTS if it is set otherwise its built in default (the -v
flag will report which filenames are looked for).
The program will make a pkfont in which the character codes
are derived from their AFM (Adobe Font Metrics) defined
values. This can be overruled by specifying an explicit
encoding file via the -e option. The encoding file enc
should contain a valid PostScript encoding containing
PostScript names like /hyphen. Here is an incomplete exam-
ple (see afm2tfm for complete syntax):
% This is the EC encoding.
/ECEncoding [ % now 256 chars follow
% 0x00
/grave /acute /circumflex /tilde /dieresis /hungarumlaut
/ring /caron /breve /macron /dotaccent /cedilla
/ogonek /quotesinglbase /guilsinglleft /guilsinglright
(Rest of lines omitted.)
% 0xF0
/eth /ntilde /ograve /oacute /ocircumflex /otilde
/odieresis /oe /oslash /ugrave /uacute /ucircumflex
/udieresis /yacute /thorn /germandbls ] def
Options and arguments:
-aAFMfile Overrules the name that is used to locate the
AFM file.
-eenc Name of a file containing an encoding scheme
(default - the encoding named in the AFM-file is
used). The actual PostScript name of the encod-
ing scheme is written as a "special" at the end
of the pkfont.
-Eextension The extension factor (real value, default 1.0).
-mmodename A modename such as would be used by METAFONT
(default "Unknown mode").
-Ppointsize The desired pointsize (real value, default 10.0
points).
-Rbaseres The desired base resolution (integer value,
default 300 dpi). If this differs from the value
of xres, the appropriate magnification will be
shown in the "specials" at the end of the
pkfont. If possible, this will be expressed as a
magstep, otherwise as a real number. For exam-
ple, a pkfont with an xres of 329, using the
default base resolution of 300, will include the
"special" text "mag=magstep(0.5)" at the end of
the font.
-raspectratio
The desired aspect ratio (expression,
integerY/integerX, default 300/300). This will
be shown in the "specials" at the end of the
pkfont. Setting the aspect ratio creates a
value for yres but an explicit yres value will
take precedence. Argument must be in "" if
spaces are left around `/'.
-Sslant The slant (real value, default 0.0).
-Xxres The resolution in the X direction (integer
value, default 300 dpi).
-Yyres The resolution in the Y direction (integer
value, default the value of xres). If yres
differs from xres, a "special" text giving the
aspect ratio will be written at the end of the
pkfont.
-v Verbose flag. (Tells what the program is doing.)
type1 The name of the PostScript type1 font. The name
of the AFM-file will be constructed from this
name by removing the extension (if suplied) and
adding ".afm". The PostScript "FontName" is
extracted from the AFM-file and written into a
"special" at the end of the pkfont.
[pkfont] The name of the resulting pkfont can be over-
ruled with this name. The default name of
pkfont is derived from the basename of the type1
font, the pointsize and xres. For example
`ps2pk -P17.28 Utopia-Regular' will result in
`Utopia-Regular17.300pk'. An explicit value for
the name of the pkfont is necessary when the
type1 font name already shows the point size,
otherwise the pointsize value is catenated on to
the pkfont basename which is usually not what is
wanted.
The following PK "specials" provide an internal check on the
characteristics of the pkfont, in accordance with the recom-
mendations of the TeX Working Group on the TeX Directory
Standard (TWG-TDS):
"fontid=FontName", "codingscheme=Encoding", "fontfacebyte",
"mag", "mode=(ps2pk)modename", "pixels-per-inch", and
"aspect-ratio" if it is other than unity.
