✨ t1c2pfb(1) ✨ — the cm-super glow-up

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🫶 this is the manual page for the cm-super crew, and honestly? it's a two-for-one deal: you get pfb2t1c AND t1c2pfb, both living their best font-converting lives. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

  • pfb2t1c — converts from binary PostScript Type1 into a compressible .t1c file, no cap
  • t1c2pfb — converts from a compressible .t1c right back to binary PostScript Type1, iconic behaviour honestly

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pfb2t1c "pfb file"

t1c2pfb
note that t1c2pfb literally takes zero arguments, she's low-maintenance like that 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so pfb2t1c reads a pfb file and converts it into the t1c format. the resulting single file (which gets written to stdout, bestie — watch for it) is not much smaller than the original pfb, but it is more compressible. that's the whole point, it's giving "glow-up via zip". 🎁

and the file name (or names!) of the pfb file(s) get noted in a pseudo header inside the t1c, which means you can literally append the resulting t1c files to each other. stack 'em, girl. 🔥

then t1c2pfb does the reverse magic: it extracts fonts saved in a t1c file. the program reads from stdin and creates the PostScript Type1 file(s). so like, feed her from stdin, she gives you fonts back. main character energy fr fr 👑
