+Type1_to_OTF converts most of the Type1 (Postscript) fonts in
+/usr/share/fonts/Type1 to OTF fonts in /usr/share/fonts/OTF.
+
+Libreoffice 5.3 no longer supports Type1 fonts. This SlackBuild will
+convert a number of popular Type1 fonts (including Bitstream Charter and
+Courier) to OTF, so that they are compatible with Libreoffice 5.3.
+
+The only fonts not converted are ones that Libreoffice can't render
+(e.g. dingbats), or that Libreoffice already offers (e.g. luxi mono).
+Some italic variants are not converted, but Libreoffice can synthesize
+and display them anyway.
