NAME
       t1reencode - reencode a PostScript Type 1 font

SYNOPSIS
       t1reencode -e ENCODING [OPTIONS...]  font [outputfile]

DESCRIPTION
       T1reencode  changes a PostScript Type 1 font's embedded encoding.  The reencoded font is written to the standard output (but see the --out-
       put option).  If no input font file is supplied, t1reencode reads a PFA or PFB font from the standard input.

OPTIONS
       --encoding=file, -e file
	    Read the encoding from file, which must contain an encoding in dvips(1) format.  Alternatively, file can be one of the following  spe-
	    cial names, in which case the corresponding standard encoding is used.

	    Name		   Source
	    StandardEncoding	   Adobe
	    ISOLatin1Encoding	   Adobe/ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_1_Encoding)
	    ExpertEncoding	   Adobe
	    ExpertSubsetEncoding   Adobe
	    SymbolEncoding	   Adobe
	    ISOLatin2Encoding	   ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_2_Encoding)
	    ISOLatin3Encoding	   ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_3_Encoding)
	    ISOLatin4Encoding	   ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_4_Encoding)
	    ISOCyrillicEncoding    ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_5_Encoding)
	    ISOGreekEncoding	   ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_7_Encoding)
	    ISOLatin5Encoding	   ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_9_Encoding)
	    ISOLatin6Encoding	   ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_10_Encoding)
	    ISOThaiEncoding	   ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_11_Encoding)
	    ISOLatin7Encoding	   ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_13_Encoding)
	    ISOLatin8Encoding	   ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_14_Encoding)
	    ISOLatin9Encoding	   ISO (synonym: ISO_8859_15_Encoding)

       --encoding-text=text, -E text
	    Use  the encoding in the text argument, which must be formatted as a dvips(1) encoding.  One of --encoding and --encoding-text must be
	    supplied.

       --name=name, -n name
	    Set the output font's PostScript name to name.  The default is the input font name followed by the encoding's name.

       --full-name=name, -N name
	    Set the output font's FullName to name.  The default is the input FullName followed by the encoding's name.

       --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.

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

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

RETURN VALUES
       T1reencode exits with value 0 if a reencoded font was successfully generated, and 1 otherwise.

NOTES
       T1reencode should be used only in special situations.  It's generally much better to use  PostScript  commands  to  reencode  a	font;  for
       instance,  executing  the  PostScript  commands to generate two differently-encoded versions of a single font will take up much less memory
       than loading two t1reencoded fonts.

EXAMPLES
       This command reencodes Frutiger Roman in the ISO Latin 1  encoding.   The  new  font  will  have  the  PostScript  name	Frutiger-RomanISO-
       Latin1Encoding.

	   t1reencode -e ISOLatin1Encoding FrutiRom.pfb 
		   -o FrutiRomISOL1.pfb

       This  series of commands, which use cfftot1(1) and otftotfm(1) as well as t1reencode itself, generate a version of Warnock Pro Regular with
       old-style figures in the slots for numbers (because of otftotfm's -fonum option).  The new font will be called WarnockPro-RegularOsF.

	   otftotfm -fonum WarnockPro-Regular.otf 
		   --output-encoding /tmp/osf.enc
	   cfftot1 WarnockPro-Regular.otf | t1reencode -e /tmp/osf.enc 
		   -n WarnockPro-RegularOsF -N "Warnock Pro Regular OsF" 
		   -o WarnoProRegOsF.pfb
