<package name="lcdf-typetools" project="openSUSE:Factory">
  <title>Programs to manipulate OpenType and multiple-master fonts</title>
  <description>This package contains four tools for working with OpenType fonts:

cfftot1    allows you to translate Compact Font Format (CFF) or
            PostScript-flavored OpenType fonts into PostScript
            Type 1 font format

otfinfo    reports information about OpenType fonts, such as the
            features they support and the contents of their ``size''
            optical size option

otftotfm   allows you to create TeX font metrics and encodings for
            using OpenType fonts

t1dotlessj creates a Type 1 font with a single character --
            the dotless j corresponding to the specified design

t1lint     checks a Type 1 font for correctness (preliminary)

t1reencode reencodes a Type 1 font, replacing its internal encoding with
            one you specify

t1testpage creates a PostScript test page for a specified
            font file (preliminary)

The package now includes programs for working with multiple-master
fonts formerly distributed as mminstance.  These tools allow you to
use multiple-master fonts with programs that require single-master
fonts (afm2tfm, ps2pk, fontinst, etc.).  Both programs work fine with
fonts that contain intermediate masters (e.g., Adobe Jenson MM and
Adobe Kepler MM).

mmafm        creates an AFM (Adobe font metric) file corresponding to
             a single instance of a multiple-master font.  It reads
             (and therefore requires) the AMFM and AFM files
             distributed with the font.

mmpfb        creates a normal, single-master font program that looks
             like an instance of a multiple-master font.  It reads
             the multiple-master font program in PFA or PFB format.</description>
