NAME
       t1disasm - disassemble PostScript Type 1 font

SYNOPSIS
       t1disasm [input [output]]

DESCRIPTION
       t1disasm disassembles Adobe Type 1 font programs in either PFA (hexadecimal) or PFB (binary) formats into human-read‐
       able  form.  If the file output is not specified output goes to the standard output.  If the file input is not speci‐
       fied input comes from the standard input.

       t1disasm performs eexec and charstring decryption as specified in the ``black book'', Adobe Type 1 Font Format.	 Ad‐
       ditionally,  the	 charstring  binary  tokens are expanded into human-readable text form, using the names given in the
       black book and later documents describing Type 2 opcodes.

EXAMPLES
       % t1disasm Utopia-Regular.pfb Utopia-Regular.raw
       % t1disasm Utopia-Regular.pfa Utopia-Regular.raw

       In Subrs entries in Utopia-Regular.raw will look like
	      dup 5 {
		      8 111 vstem
		      -12 128 hstem
		      707 -20 hstem
		      return
		      } |
       and the CharStrings entries like
	      /exclam {
		      58 242 hsbw
		      6 callsubr
		      5 4 callsubr
		      63 707 rmoveto
		      -54 0 -5 -22 4 -45 rrcurveto
		      40 -431 rlineto
		      29 hlineto
		      42 431 rlineto
		      4 45 -5 22 -55 0 rrcurveto
		      closepath
		      6 4 callsubr
		      -719 vmoveto
		      243 callsubr
		      endchar
		      } |-
