history
Project history and usage
t1utils is a set of small command-line programs for manipulating PostScript Type 1 fonts, especially converting between PFA and PFB and disassembling/reassembling fonts for inspection or repair.
Project history
The current README says the original t1utils were created by I. Lee Hetherington in 1992, with changes since version 1.2 by Eddie Kohler from 1998 through 2017. The LCDF Type Software page describes Kohler's version as a revision of Hetherington's t1utils package.
Adoption history
The LCDF page documents source code, documentation, manuals, and prebuilt or packaged availability for Debian, Windows, SGI IRIX, and NetBSD. The Homebrew input also records broad package-manager coverage across Alpine, Debian, Fedora, Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Ubuntu, and openSUSE.
How it is used
The tools cover the classic Type 1 maintenance loop: t1ascii and t1binary convert PFB and PFA, t1disasm and t1asm make fonts editable and assemble them again, and t1unmac/t1mac bridge Macintosh Type 1 resources.
Why package nerds care
t1utils is notable because it is tiny, portable, and still shows up wherever TeX, PostScript fonts, legacy publishing, or old font build recipes need deterministic Type 1 conversion tools.
Timeline
- 1992: Original t1utils copyright by I. Lee Hetherington.
- 1998: Eddie Kohler began maintaining changes after version 1.2.
- 2013: The kohler/t1utils GitHub repository was created.
- 2017: README copyright range for Kohler's changes extends through 2017.
- 2020: GitHub repository metadata shows the project was still receiving pushes.
Related projects
- The package sits in LCDF Type Software alongside other PostScript and TeX-oriented type tools, and is commonly relevant to TeX/font packaging ecosystems.
