Description

       pfbtops translates a PostScript Type 1 font in Printer Font Binary (PFB) format to Printer
       Font ASCII (PFA) format, splitting overlong lines in text packets into smaller chunks.  If
       pfb-file  is  omitted,  the PFB file will be read from the standard input stream.  The PFA
       font will be written on the standard output stream.   PostScript  fonts  for  MS-DOS  were
       historically  supplied in PFB format.  Use of a PostScript Type 1 font with groff requires
       conversion of its metrics (AFM file) to a groff font description file; see afmtodit(1).

       The --help  option  displays  a  usage  message,  while  -v  and  --version  show  version
       information; all exit afterward.
