NAME
afm2afm - reencode an afm file
SYNOPSIS
afm2afm [-help] [-encoding encodingfile] [-kpx kpxfile] [-output outputfile] afmfile
DESCRIPTION
afm2afm re-encodes an afm file.
Metrics (including kerning data) for characters not present in the chosen encoding are excluded from the
output, which resuls in (potentially much) smaller files.
Additional kerning pairs can be added to the output file. If you don't specify an encoding file, the afm
file isn't re-encoded; however, all unused (unencoded) data is still pruned.
The program also generates an entry for a dvips-style map file, but only if the afm file has been re-
encoded and the output was written to file (i.e., if both the -encoding and -output options were
specified).
OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
-help
Print a short description of the syntax
-encoding encodingfile
Re-encode to the enconding in encodingfile
-kpx kpxfile
Read additional kerning pairs from kpxfile and add these to the output. This option cannot be used
to override values from the input afm file, since afm2afm will write both old and new values to the
output!
The kpxfile should contain kerning data in standard afm format, i.e. for each kerning pair there
should be a line
KPX <left_glyph> <right_glyph> <amount>
All other lines in the kpxfile are ignored.
-output outputfile
Write the result to outputfile instead of "stdout".
afmfile
The afm file to be re-encoded.
You may use either one or two dashes before options, and option names may be shortened to a unique
prefix.

RECENT CHANGES
(See the source code for the rest of the story.)
2013-08-07 Added the -kpx command-line option. Replaced all "given/when" constructions in the source
code by "if"'s, to avoid warnings about experimental features in Perl 5.18 and later.
2012-02-01 Refactored the code; added the "no re-encoding, only pruning" functionality.
