PSfont -- Command Cook an Adobe font into PostScript format PSfont [-qs] [ infile.pfb [ outfile ] ] The command PSfont ``cooks'' a file that is in Adobe's downloadable-font format into PostScript. The output of PSfont can either be loaded into your PostScript printer as a memory-resident font, which can be used across multiple files, or included within the output of troff. PSfont recognizes two options: -q Quiet option: suppress the printing of warning messages. PSfont normally complains about error conditions it finds within fonts, such as extraneous control characters. -s Suppress the instructions serverdict and exitserver from the output. Use this option if you wish to include the output of PSfont within troff output; do not use this option if you want the cooked font to be resident within the printer after you download it. infile is the Adobe font file that PSfont cooks into PostScript. It must have the suffix .pfb. If you do not name an infile on the command line, PSfont reads the standard input. outfile names the file into which PSfont writes its output. By convention, it should have the suffix .ps, although this is not required. If you do not name an outfile on the command line, PSfont writes to the standard output.
