    Utilities for examining fonts

  </H2>
  <P>
  showttf is a program which will decompose a truetype (or opentype) font file
  into its various tables and display the contents of those tables as best
  it can. It will also point out the errors it finds in the file. This is similar
  to MicroSoft's
  <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/typography/tools/tools.htm">ttfdump</A>
  (except mine shows some of Apple's tables which ttfdump does not), and to
  Apple's
  <A HREF="http://developer.apple.com/fonts/OSXTools.html">ftxdumperfuser</A>
  (except mine shows some OpenType tables which Apple's ignores). And, of course,
  mine is open source and runs on most any system.

  <A HREF="http://fontforge.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=fontforge/fontforge;a=summary">The
  source code is in the git repository under fonttools/showttf.c</A>.

    <A HREF="http://fontforge.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=fontforge/fontforge;a=summary">Ttf2Eps</A>
  </H2>
  <P>
  ttf2eps will allow you to extract one (or all) glyphs from a font and convert
  them into eps files.

    <A HREF="http://fontforge.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=fontforge/fontforge;a=summary">PfaDecrypt</A>
  </H2>
  <P>
  pfadecrypt will undo Adobe's encryption on pfa/pfb files and converts the
  byte codes into readable postscript like instructions.
  <H2>
    <A HREF="http://fontforge.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=fontforge/fontforge;a=summary">Pcl2Ttf</A>
  </H2>
  <P>
  Will extract ttf or bitmap fonts embedded in an hp pcl file. Bitmap fonts
  become bdf fonts (I don't have any examples of run length encoded bitmap
  fonts, and do not currently support them. If you have an rle bitmap pcl font
  please send it to me). I have neither documentation on nor examples of the
  "Intellifont" format, so these fonts are not supported.
