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 Mac-
     intoshes can't read raw Type 1 fonts. You will need to create a font  suit-
     case  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 Mac-
	  intosh conventions. This option is not useful when output is a raw re-
	  source fork.
