INTRODUCTION
------------
REFONT is a Postscript type 1 font utility that allows you to use MAC type 1
fonts on IBMPC machines with Windows and ATM. With REFONT you can:
1) Convert MAC format type 1 outlines to IBM format type 1 outlines.
2) Convert MAC format type 1 outlines to ASCII hex format type 1 outlines.
3) Convert Postscript AFM files to Windows compatible PFM files.
USING REFONT
------------
Start REFONT by typeing REFONT at the prompt. REFONT prompts you for an
AFM file, then for a font outline file. If you don't want to generate one
of these, just hit return.
For ATM:
Name the output of the AFM file "font.PFM" and name the output of the
outline file "font.PFB", where "font" is any convenient name. Pick the
"B" option for the font outline. Now these files can be installed with
ATM.
For an ascii font:
Skip the first prompt and pick the "A" option for the font outline.
V1.1 CHANGES
------------
Refont 1.0 did not expect Macbinary headers when generating PFB files
(it would output INVALID FONT FORMAT). Version 1.1 skips the header.
Fixed incorrect widths on upper characters in fonts with
non-StandardEncoding vectors.
REGISTRATION
------------
A registration fee of $20.00 will get you a Windows version (Wrefont V3.0)
which does everything this version does and more: you can generate AFM or
PFM files from the font outlines, convert PC PFB files to MAC MacBinary
files, and convert binary PFB files into ASCII and back again. Users
already registered for Wrefont 2.x can receive version 3.0 for $3.00
to cover S&H.
