Description
       pfbtops  translates  a  PostScript Type 1 font in Printer Font Binary (PFB) format to Printer
       Font ASCII (PFA) format, splitting overlong lines in text packets into  smaller  chunks.   If
       pfb-file  is omitted, the PFB file will be read from the standard input stream.  The PFA font
       will be written on the standard output stream.  PostScript fonts for MS-DOS were historically
       supplied in PFB format.  Use of a PostScript Type 1 font with groff  requires  conversion  of
       its metrics (AFM file) to a groff font description file; see ]8;;man:afmtodit(1)\afmtodit(1)]8;;\.

       The  --help option displays a usage message, while -v and --version show version information;
       all exit afterward.
