t1dotlessj(1)

NAME

   t1dotlessj - create a dotless-j PostScript Type 1 font

SYNOPSIS

   t1dotlessj [OPTIONS...]  font [outputfile]

DESCRIPTION

   T1dotlessj  creates  a PostScript Type 1 font whose only character is a
   dotless 'j' matching the input  font's  design.   It  works  simply  by
   removing  the dot from the input font's 'j'.  The output font has three
   characters: '.notdef', 'space', and 'uni0237', where 'uni0237'  is  the
   dotless 'j'.  The command fails if the input font already has a dotless
   'j' character, or if there seems to be no dot  to  remove.   T1dotlessj
   writes  the created PFA or PFB font to the standard output (but see the
   --output option); if no input file is supplied, it reads a PFA  or  PFB
   font from the standard input.

OPTIONS

   --output=file, -o file
        Send output to file instead of standard output.

   --pfb, -b
        Output a PFB font.  This is the default.

   --pfa, -a
        Output a PFA font.

   --name=name, -n name
        Set  the  output  font's  PostScript name to name.  The default is
        InputFontNameLCDFJ.

   -q, --quiet
        Do not generate any error messages.

   -h, --help
        Print usage information and exit.

   -v, --version
        Print the version number and some short  non-warranty  information
        and exit.
