TYPE1AFM(1)

💖 TYPE1AFM 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about type1afm(1) — that's a General Commands Manual situation, and she's here to turn your Type 1 fonts into metrics files. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

type1afm — make a font metrics file out of a Type 1 font file. that's it, that's the girl. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

type1afm [ -l ] fontfile [ fontfile...  ]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so real talk: this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution specifically because the original program straight up doesn't have a manual page. like, it's out here living its life undocumented. we fixed that. you're welcome. 💅

type1afm reads in the Type 1 font files you name on the command line, rasterizes them to 1000bp, and then writes out AFM (font metrics) files based on the metrics info it actually observed. she's not guessing — she's observing. main character energy fr fr. 👑

🚨 okay this is the important part, do not scroll past: the AFM file gets created in the same directory as the font file. so before you run this program, make sure you have write access in that directory. if you don't, it's not gonna go well. vibe check your permissions first, bestie. 😭

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -l — write a log file. she'll keep receipts. 📝
