+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+afdko: afdko (Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType)
+afdko:
+afdko: The goal of the Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType package is to
+afdko: share the tools used by Adobe font developers for wrapping up
+afdko: PostScript (i.e. Type1) fonts as OpenType/CFF font files, and adding
+afdko: OpenType layout features. These tools are used for in-house
+afdko: development of new Adobe OpenType fonts.
+afdko:
+afdko: Now that Libreoffice has dropped support for Type1 fonts, one can use
+afdko: the afdko to convert the system Type1 fonts to OTF, which
+afdko: Libreoffice supports. The package Type1_to_OTF does this.
