NAME
afm2afm - reencode an afm fileSYNOPSIS
afm2afm [-help] [-encoding encodingfile] [-kpx kpxfile] [-output outputfile] afmfileDESCRIPTION
afm2afm re-encodes an afm file. Metrics (including kerning data) for characters not present in the chosen encoding are excluded from the output, which resuls in (potentially much) smaller files. Additional kerning pairs can be added to the output file. If you don't specify an encoding file, the afm file isn't re-encoded; however, all unused (unencoded) data is still pruned. The program also generates an entry for a dvips-style map file, but only if the afm file has been re-encoded and the output was written to file (i.e., if both the -encoding and -output options were specified).OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
-help Print a short description of the syntax -encoding encodingfile Re-encode to the enconding in encodingfile -kpx kpxfile Read additional kerning pairs from kpxfile and add these to the output. This option cannot be used to override values from the input afm file, since afm2afm will write both old and new values to the output! The kpxfile should contain kerning data in standard afm format, i.e. for each kerning pair there should be a line KPX <left_glyph> <right_glyph> <amount> All other lines in the kpxfile are ignored. -output outputfile Write the result to outputfile instead of "stdout". afmfile The afm file to be re-encoded. You may use either one or two dashes before options, and option names may be shortened to a unique prefix.AUTHOR
