PF2AFM(1)

💖 PF2AFM 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to pf2afm, a lil Ghostscript script that makes an AFM file out of PostScript font files (that's PFB / PFA / PFM bestie, we'll get there) and honestly? it's giving font wizardry ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pf2afm fontfilename

that's it. one argument. one lil guy. she's simple, she's iconic 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🫖 — this script invokes gs(1) to make an AFM file from PFB / PFA and (optionally) PFM files. yes, optionally PFM, she's flexible like that 🎀

the output goes to fontfilename.afm and like…

🚨 the file must NOT already exist. like at all. if fontfilename.afm is already sitting there, this is not happening. no cap. 💀

so maybe check before you run it, bestie, i'm just saying 🙈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑
