description

Getafm generates a PostScript file which prints an AFM file for a font to the printer’s output channel. The output of getafm should be sent to a printer, or to GhostScript. For example,

getafm Times-Roman | gsnd - >Times-Roman.afm

trademarks

PostScript is a trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated.


bugs

Kerning information is not generated by getafm; it is best to use original AFM files if possible.
