t1infos – Utilities for PostScript fonts
There are here two little programs written in C (using t1lib) for scanning Type 1 fonts, and doing:
- compute the
black area
of each glyph, with how much percent of the square containing the glyph is black, and - checking if the
extremas
(see Adobe Type 1 specifications) of the outline are correct, and tell which one are missing.
There is also here a PostScript dictionary containing three
algorithms for automatic kerning (the kerning is computed
on the fly
instead of being pre-computed by
external software like TeX, groff or lout; very useful for some
PostScript hacking). Two of these algorithms are quite classical;
the third is original and is PostScript-optimized. The PostScript
file in the distribution contains both demonstration code and the
dictionary itself.
