composeglyphs is a script to generate either an encoding vector or a new font for postscript. It requires a pre-existing AFM and allows for the use of composite characters that that AFM does not already provide.
−e encoding.afm
The base encoding AFM to use.
−E encoding.ps
The encoding vector to output.
−i input.afm
The AFM of the original font.
−o output.ps
The font program to generate.
−c composite.afm
The AFM containing supplementary composite character information.
−n newname
The name of the new font.
−t target_encoding.afm
The target encoding.
−a output.afm
The name of the AFM file to generate.
composeglyphs is a part of Ogonkify, which comes with the a2ps distribution.
If you create new AFMs or modify existing ones, the author asks that you kindly send him a copy so that he may include them in the distribution.
