What is texlive-lcdftypetools

This bundle of tools comprises Compact Font Format (CFF) font, or a PostScript-flavored OpenType font, into PostScript Type 1 format. It correctly handles subroutines and hints; Mmafm and mmpfb, which create instances of multiple-master fonts (mmafm and mmpfb were previously distributed in their own package, mminstance); Otfinfo, which reports information about OpenType fonts, such as the features they support and the contents of their ‘size’ optical size features; Otftotfm, which creates TeX font metrics and encodings that correspond to a PostScript-flavored OpenType font. It will interpret glyph positionings, substitutions, and ligatures as far as it is able. You can say which OpenType features should be activated; T1dotlessj, creates a Type 1 font whose only character is a dotless j matching the input font’s design; T1lint, which checks a Type 1 font for correctness; T1reencode, which replaces a font’s internal encoding with one you specify; and T1testpage, which creates a PostScript proof for a Type 1 font.
