These tools are used for in-house +development of new Adobe OpenType fonts. + +Now that Libreoffice has dropped support for Type1 fonts, one can use +afdko to convert the system Type1 fonts to OTF, which +Libreoffice supports. The package Type1_to_OTF does this. + + +Notes for x86_64 + +As received from upstream, adfko forces the building of 32-bit +executables. This is fine on a 32-bit system. On a 64-bit system, the +SlackBuild enables a 64-bit build. This is experimental and unsupported, +but seems to work OK (at least for makeotf and tx). |
