TTF2PT1 provides tools to convert most TrueType fonts (or other formats supported by the FreeType library) to an Adobe Type 1 .pfa or .pfb file. Another use is as a hinting engine: feed it an unhinted or poorly hinted Adobe Type 1 font through the FreeType library and get it back with freshly generated hints. The files produced by default are in human-readable form, which further needs to be encoded with t1utilities to work with most software requiring Type 1 fonts.
