Re: [Freetype] How to dump a font into PostScript?

[Michael Pfeiffer]

Hi again,

the source code of xpdf (http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html)
is probably a better source than PDFlib. PSOutputDev.cc converts
a PDF file to PS and can embed Type1 and TrueType fonts.
Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,
Michael
