ttf2pfb is oriented towards support for CJK fonts containing several
thousand glyphs to be splitted into subfonts with 256 characters each usable
by TeX. Nevertheless, it is quite generic and works with normal ttf files
too.
Some features are still missing (to make it really useful for non-CJK
fonts) or should be added for convenience:
Dokumentation. ttf2pbf explains itself; t1asm is a filter which converts
the (disassembled) pseudo font created by ttf2pfb into a real .pfa font (or
.pfb if you use the `-b' command line switch).
Creation of afm files to have kerning data.
Inclusion of t1asm and t1binary into ttf2pfb so that ttf2pfb can directly
produce .pfa and pfb files.
Support for glyph names (currently glyph names are /cjk003f etc).
A more flexible encoding file format (maybe similar to ttf2tfm) which can
handle glyph names.
Makefile, configure. Currently you have to compile all tools manually with
gcc -O -g -DDEBUG -o ttf2pfb ttf2pfb.c -lttf
gcc -O -g -o t1asm t1asm.c
If you get an error message about `undefined reference to dgettext' while
compiling ttf2pfb, append `-lintl' to the compiling command.
[t1asm has been slightly patched to allow partial font downloading with
dvips.]
Note that compiling ttf2pfb with `-O2' doesn't work, most probably due to
a compiler bug (we've tested with gcc 2.7.2.1 and 2.7.2.3).
