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. |
