NAME
       t1asm - assemble type-1 font

SYNOPSIS
       t1asm [-a|-b] [-l length] [input [output]]

DESCRIPTION
       t1asm assembles Adobe Type 1 font programs into either PFA
       (hexadecimal) or PFB (binary) formats from  a  human-read
       able form. If the file output is not specified output goes
       to the standard output. If the file input is not specified
       input comes from the standard input.

       t1asm tokenizes the charstring data and performs eexec and
       charstring encryption as specified in the ``black  book,''
       Adobe Type 1 Font Format.

       The input must have a line of the form
	      /-|{string currentfile exch readstring pop}executeonly def
       which  defines  the command, in this case `-|', that is to
       start charstring data. It is an error not to define such a
       command. Another common name for this command is `RD'.

       After  the start of the Subrs array in the input, all open
       braces `{' not in a comment begin  a  charstring.  Such	a
       charstring  is  terminated  by  the next non-comment close
       brace `}'. Within such a charstring, only comments,  inte
       gers,  and  valid  charstring  commands are allowed. Valid
       charstring command names can be found in Adobe Type 1 Font
       Format  and  other  documents  describing the newer Type 2
       opcodes. The format within a charstring is unimportant  as
       long  as integers and commands are separated by at least a
       one whitespace (space, tab, newline) character. Note  that
       within  charstrings,  comments  are discarded because they
       cannot be encoded.

OPTIONS
       --pfa, -a
	    Output in PFA (ASCII) format.

       --pfb, -b
	    Output in PFB (binary) format. This is the default.

       --block-length=num, -l num
	    PFB only: Set the maximum output block length to num.
	    The default length is as large as memory allows.

       --line-length=num, -l num
	    PFA	 only:	Set the maximum length of encrypted lines
	    in the output to num.  (These are the lines	 consist
	    ing wholly of hexadecimal digits.) The default is 64.

EXAMPLES
       % t1asm Utopia-Regular.raw > Utopia-Regular.pfb
       % t1asm -a Utopia-Regular.raw > Utopia-Regular.pfa

       Adobe Type 1 Font Format is available free from Adobe as a
       PDF	file.	     http://partners.adobe.com/asn/devel

       The Type 2 Charstring Format, also available from Adobe as
       a PDF file, describes the newer Type  2	operators,  which
       are  also  used	in some multiple-master Type 1 fonts like
       Adobe	  Jenson      and      Kepler.	     http://part
