There are here two little programs written in C (using the t1lib) for scanning Type 1 fonts, and doing: a) compute the "black area" of each glyph, with how much percent of the square containing the glyph is black. b) checking if the "extremas" (see Adobe Type 1 specifications) of the outline are correct, and tell which one are missing. There is also here a postscript dictionary containing three algorithms for "automatic kerning" (the kerning is computed "on the fly" instead of being pre-computed by an external software like TeX, groff or lout; very useful for some PostScript hacking); two of them are quite classical ; one is original and is Postscript-optimized. The postscript file contains both a demonstration code and the dictionary itself; thus it can be previewed with gv. The author is Thomas Baruchel.
