NAME
cfftot1 - convert PostScript font from CFF to Type 1 SYNOPSIS
cfftot1 [-a] [input [output]] DESCRIPTION
Cfftot1 converts PostScript font programs in the Compact Font Format (CFF) into Type 1 font programs in PFB or PFA format, preserving all hints that can be represented in Type 1.

CFF files can contain more than one font, although few do. Use this option to select a particular font from a multi-font collection. By default cfftot1 chooses the collection's first font. -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.
