Welcome! Please read this information.

This is Gerben Wierda's binary distribution of Eddie Kohler's LCDF Typetools for Mac OS X. LCDF Typetools are command line tools to manipulate fonts. From the manual pages:

       Mmpfb  creates  a normal, single-master PostScript font from a multiple
       master font by interpolation. You pass it a PFB or PFA font and options
       specifying  the  design  point you want; it writes the resulting PFB or
       PFA font to the standard output.

       Mmafm  creates AFM font metrics for PostScript multiple master fonts by
       interpolation. You pass it an AMFM file (multiple master font  metrics)
       and  options  specifying  the  design point you want, and it writes the
       resulting AFM file to the standard output.

The distribution has been created by downloading them from www.lcdf.org and compiling and installing it with make.
