a2ac

Adds Descriptions of Accented Characters to Adobe Font Metric Files

The a2ac (AFM to AFM Plus Composites) utility allows the use of PostScript(TM) fonts when typesetting languages that use accented characters. A2ac adds the descriptions of the accented characters to the Adobe Font Metric (AFM) file for that font. The resulting AFM file can be run through afm2tfm -v to create a virtual font that includes the generated composite characters (the letters plus the accent marks).
