This program is essentially the same +as the ttf2bdf program except that it uses FreeType 2.*, not FreeType +1.*, has some bug fixes, and includes a new command line parameter to +print out the available encoding tables in the font. + +For best results, the original font should be monospaced. + +The mapping files for use with the -m option are installed in +/usr/share/otf2bdf/. -- cgit v1.2.3
