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.

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.
