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.

RETURN VALUES

T1dotlessj exits with one of the following values:

	0		A dotless-j font was successfully generated.
	1		The font already contained a dotless-j character.
	2		The font’s "j" character had no dot to remove.
	3		The font had no "j" character.
	>3		An error occurred.
