Description

18       pfbtops translates a PostScript Type 1  font  in  Printer  Font  Binary
19       (PFB)  format  to  Printer  Font ASCII (PFA) format, splitting overlong
20       lines in text packets into smaller chunks.  If pfb-file is omitted, the
21       PFB  file  will  be  read from the standard input stream.  The PFA font
22       will be written on the standard output stream.   PostScript  fonts  for
23       MS-DOS  were  historically supplied in PFB format.  Use of a PostScript
24       Type 1 font with groff requires conversion of its metrics (AFM file) to
25       a groff font description file; see afmtodit(1).

27       The --help option displays a usage message, while -v and --version show
28       version information; all exit afterward.
