CTAN update: fontools

2005-08-21 Thread CTAN Announcements 
On Mon, 15 Aug 2005 Marc Penninga submitted an update to the

  fontools

package.

This package provides a few tools to ease using fonts (especially
Truetype/Opentype ones) with Latex and fontinst:
AFM2AFM - reencode .afm files; designed to replace fontinst's
\reencodefont for big .afm files.
AUTOINST - simplify the use of the LCDF TypeTools by creating a
command file for otftotfm, plus .fd and .sty files.
CMAP2ENC - convert glyph indices in TrueType fonts without glyph
names (such as Linotype Palatino) to Adobe glyph names.
FONT2AFM - create font metrics; this is just a wrapper script
around tools such as pf2afm, ttf2afm, pfm2kpx and ot2kpx.
OT2KPX - extract all kerning pairs from an OpenType font.
PFM2KPX - extract all kerning pairs from buggy .pfm files (the
ones where pf2afm complains .notdef character occurred among kern
pairs).
SHOWGLYPHS - create a pdf file that shows all glyphs in a font.

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
--
 - A few bugfixes

 - Added support files for a new encoding that may be useful for use with
   OpenType fonts, since it contains much more empty slots (for alternate
   glyphs and additional ligatures) than LY1.

Thanks for the update.
