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.
