NAME
       t1mac - translate a PFA or PFB PostScript Type 1 font into Macintosh format

SYNOPSIS
       t1mac  [--macbinary  |  --applesingle  |  --appledouble | --binhex | --raw] [--filename name]
       [input [output]]

DESCRIPTION
       t1mac reads a PFA (hexadecimal) or PFB (binary) PostScript Type 1 font file and generates  an
       equivalent  Macintosh  Type 1 font file. The output file can be in MacBinary II, AppleSingle,
       AppleDouble, or BinHex format, or it can be a raw resource fork. The default is MacBinary II;
       use  an  option to choose a different format. If the output file is not specified output goes
       to the standard output.

       WARNING: The output of t1mac is not sufficient to use the font, since Macintoshes can't  read
       raw  Type  1 fonts. You will need to create a font suitcase containing bitmap fonts if you do
       not have such a suitcase for the font already.  t1mac cannot help you do this.

OPTIONS
       --raw, -r
            Indicates that output should be a raw resource fork.

       --macbinary
            Indicates that output should be in MacBinary I or II format. This is the default.

       --applesingle
            Indicates that output should be in AppleSingle format.

       --appledouble
            Indicates that output should be in AppleDouble format.

       --binhex
            Indicates that output should be in BinHex 4.0 format.

       --filename=name, -n name
            Sets the Macintosh filename of the output font to name. The default is to construct  the
            filename  from  the  font's name using established Macintosh conventions. This option is
            not useful when output is a raw resource fork.
