Hi, LCDF Typetools comprises several programs for manipulating PostScript Type 1, Type 1 Multiple Master, OpenType, and TrueType fonts.
LCDF stands for Little Cambridgeport Design Factory. I often use these tools--well, otfinfo anyway--while creating or testing font ports. Despite its name, otfinfo works on ttf files too. These tools are already packaged: the binaries are in texlive-base and their manpages are in texlive_texmf-minimal. But there are many times that I want to run otfinfo on a font file but I don't have texlive installed and installing it would be inconvenient. Since this is independently distfiled, independently maintained software from texlive, I think it makes sense to split out. The PLIST includes a conflict against texlive. I think they should be removed from texlive completely, and texlive should run-depend on this port instead. Edd, how do you feel about it? -- Anthony J. Bentley
