`-t': Changing TeX encodings
............................

  To build a virtual font with Afm2tfm, you specify the `-v' or `-V'
option. You can then specify an encoding for that virtual font with `-t
TEX-ENC'.  (`-t' is ignored if neither `-v' nor `-V' is present.)  Any
ligature and kerning information you specify in TEX-ENC will be used in
the VPL, in addition to the ligature and kerning information from the
AFM file.

  If the AFM file has no entry for a character specified in TEX-ENC,
that character will be omitted from the output VPL.

  The `-t' option is likely to be needed when you have a PostScript
font corresponding to a TeX font other than a normal text font such as
Computer Modern.  For instance, if you have a PostScript font that
contains math symbols, you'd probably want to use the encoding in the
`texmsym.enc' file supplied with Dvips. (For a start; to actually get
usable math fonts, you have to define much more than just an encoding.)
