T1DISASM(1)		     General Commands Manual		     T1DISASM(1)

NAME
     t1disasm - disassemble PostScript Type 1 font

SYNOPSIS
     t1disasm [input [output]]

DESCRIPTION
     t1disasm  disassembles  Adobe Type 1 font programs in either PFA (hexadeci-
     mal) or PFB (binary) formats into human-readable form. If the  file  output
     is  not specified output goes to the standard output.  If the file input is
     not specified input comes from the standard input.

     t1disasm performs eexec and  charstring  decryption  as  specified  in  the
     ``black book'', Adobe Type 1 Font Format.	Additionally, the charstring bi-
     nary  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
		    } |-

     The  Type 2 Charstring Format, also available from Adobe as a PDF file, de-
     scribes the newer Type 2 operators, which are also used in  some  multiple-
