t1dotlessj - create a dotless-J PostScript Type 1 font
t1dotlessj
[OPTIONS...] font [outputfile]
T1dotlessj creates a PostScript
Type~1 font whose only character is a dotless ’j’ matching the input font’s
design. It works simply by removing the dot from the input font’s ’j’. The
output font has three characters: ’.notdef’, ’space’, and ’uni0237’, where ’uni0237’
is the dotless ’j’. The command fails if the input font already has a dotless
’j’ character, or if there seems to be no dot to remove. T1dotlessj writes
the created PFA or PFB font to the standard output (but see the --output
option); if no input file is supplied, it reads a PFA or PFB font from
the standard input.
- --output=file, -o file
- Send output to file instead
of standard output.
- --pfb, -b
- Output a PFB font. This is the default.
- --pfa, -a
- Output a PFA font.
- --name=name, -n name
- Set the output font’s PostScript
name to name. The default is InputFontNameLCDFJ.
- -q, --quiet
- Do not generate
any error messages.
- -h, --help
- Print usage information and exit.
- -v, --version
- Print the version number and some short non-warranty information and exit.
T1dotlessj exits with one of the following values:
- A dotless-j
font was successfully generated.
- The font already contained a dotless-j character.
- The font’s "j" character had no dot to remove.
- The font had no "j" character.
- >3
- An error occurred.
