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.
