This package provides a few tools to ease using fonts (especially Truetype/Opentype ones) with Latex and fontinst:
AFM2AFM – reencode .afm files; designed to replace fontinst's
\reencodefont for big .afm files;
AUTOINST – simplify the use of the LCDF TypeTools by creating a
command file for otftotfm, plus .fd and .sty files;
CMAP2ENC – convert glyph indices in TrueType fonts without glyph
names (such as Linotype Palatino) to Adobe glyph names;
FONT2AFM – create font metrics; this is just a wrapper script
around tools such as pf2afm, ttf2afm, pfm2kpx and ot2kpx;
OT2KPX – extract all kerning pairs from an OpenType font;
PFM2KPX – extract all kerning pairs from buggy .pfm files (the
ones where pf2afm complains “.notdef character occurred
among kern pairs”); and
SHOWGLYPHS – create a pdf file that shows all glyphs in a font.
Please see the documentation of the individual programs for further information.
