check a PostScript Type 1 font for correctness

## NAME

t1lint - check a PostScript Type 1 font for correctness

## SYNOPSIS

**t1lint** *font* \[*font*...\]

## DESCRIPTION

**T1lint** checks PostScript Type 1 font programs for correctness.  Any errors or variances from the specification are reported to standard error.  If there are no errors, the command prints nothing.  It exits with status 0 if all fonts were OK, and status 1 otherwise.  If no input files are supplied, t1lint reads a font from the standard input.

  Do not generate any error messages.  The only output will be the exit status.

  Print usage information and exit.
