TrueType fonts cannot be converted to Type 1 fonts without loss of
|
||
|
|
quality, since conversion introduces rounding errors and loses hinting
|
||
|
|
information. Therefore, newer PostScript interpreters (Adobe
|
||
|
|
PostScript since version 2013, ghostscript since 5.03) include a
|
||
|
|
TrueType rasterizers. To use a TrueType font with them, it has to be
|
||
|
|
embedded in a PostScript font dictionary; this format is called Type 42.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This program generates such Type 42 fonts from TrueType fonts. It
|
||
|
|
can also generate Adobe Font Metrics files (AFM files), including
|
||
|
|
kerning information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not yet supported are TrueType Collections and the creation of CID
|
||
|
|
keyed fonts from large TrueType fonts (East Asian or Unicode fonts).
