Description: Programs to manipulate OpenType and multiple-master fonts
 This package contains four tools for working with OpenType fonts:
 .
  cfftot1    allows you to translate Compact Font Format (CFF) or
             PostScript-flavored OpenType fonts into PostScript 
             Type 1 font format
 .
  otfinfo    reports information about OpenType fonts, such as the
             features they support and the contents of their ``size''
             optical size option
 .
  otftotfm   allows you to create TeX font metrics and encodings for 
             using PostScript-flavored OpenType fonts
 .
  t1dotlessj creates a Type 1 font with a single character -- 
             the dotless j corresponding to the specified design
 .
  t1lint     checks a Type 1 font for correctness (preliminary)
 .
  t1testpage creates a PostScript test page for a specified
             font file (preliminary)
 .
  t1rawafm   generates a "raw" (kernless and ligatureless) AFM file 
             given a font file (PFB/PFA)
 .
 LCDF-TypeTools also includes the multiple-master font tools formerly
 distributed as mminstance.  These tools allow you to use
 multiple-master fonts with programs that require single-master fonts
 (afm2tfm, ps2pk, fontinst, etc.).  Both programs work fine with fonts
 that contain intermediate masters (e.g., Adobe Jenson MM and Adobe
 Kepler MM).
 .
 mmafm        creates an AFM (Adobe font metric) file corresponding to
              a single instance of a multiple-master font.  It reads
              (and therefore requires) the AMFM and AFM files
              distributed with the font. 
 .
 mmpfb        creates a normal, single-master font program that looks
              like an instance of a multiple-master font.  It reads
              the multiple-master font program in PFA or PFB format.
