NAME

       ttftotype42 - create PostScript Type 42 wrapper of TrueType font

SYNOPSIS

       ttftotype42 [input [output]]

DESCRIPTION

       Ttftotype42  converts TrueType or TrueType-flavored OpenType font programs into PostScript Type 42 format, which is a wrapper for the True-
       Type outlines.  This conversion preserves all outlines and hint information from the original TrueType font. The Type 42 wrapper uses glyph
       names  identical to those expected by pdflatex(1) or otftotfm(1), so encoding files suitable for TrueType fonts and pdflatex will also work
       for the Type 42 fonts and dvips(1).  If the file output is not specified output goes to the standard output.  If  the  file  input  is  not
       specified input comes from the standard input.

OPTIONS

       -o file, --output file
	    Write output font to file instead of the standard output.

       -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.
