afm2pl is meant to be a partial replacement for afm2tfm, on which it is based. Its default action is to convert an afm file to a tfm file, with preservation of kerns and ligatures (with afm2tfm, preserving kerns and ligatures is possible only in a roundabout way).
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
