NAME

ppr-ttf2ps - Convert a TrueType font to PostScript format


SYNOPSIS

ppr-ttf2ps [--type3] [--type42] filename


DESCRIPTION

This is a demonstration program for PPR libttf library. As such it will not ordinarily be required when using PPR. It takes as input a TrueType font file in the format used on Microsoft Windows and Unix systems and converts it to one of two PostScript formats.

--type42
Generate a PostScript type 42 font file. This keep the font data in TrueType format. Such a font file will work only on PostScript printers with internal TrueType rasterizers. This is the default.

--type3
Convert the outlines to PostScript code and generate a type 3 font. This conversion throws away all of the hinting, so the type quality will be a little crude. However it should work on any PostScript printer.
