Overview

PFA (Printer Font ASCII) Generator

[‘PFAGenerator`](lib/fontisan/type1/pfa_generator.rb) generates Type 1 PFA files from TrueType fonts.

PFA files are ASCII-encoded Type 1 fonts used by Unix systems. They are the same as PFB files but with binary data hex-encoded.

Examples:

Generate PFA from TTF

font = Fontisan::FontLoader.load("font.ttf")
pfa_data = Fontisan::Type1::PFAGenerator.generate(font)
File.write("font.pfa", pfa_data)

Generate PFA with custom options

options = { upm_scale: 1000, format: :pfa }
pfa_data = Fontisan::Type1::PFAGenerator.generate(font, options)
