NAME
ppltotf, uppltotf - Create Japanese pTeX font metric (JFM)
SYNOPSIS
ppltotf
[options]
pl_file_name[.pl]
[tfm_file_name[.tfm]]
DESCRIPTION
The
ppltotf
program translates a Japanese property list (JPL) file to a Japanese
pTeX font metric (JFM) file.
The resulting JFM file can be used with pTeX and e-pTeX.
The
uppltotf
program is a Unicode-enabled version of ppltotf.
The resulting JFM file can be used with upTeX and e-upTeX.
In the following sections, we refer to these programs as
(u)ppltotf.
(u)ppltotf
is upper compatible with
pltotf;
if the input PL file is for roman fonts, it is translated into an
ordinary TeX font metric (TFM) file.
The difference between
ppltotf
and
uppltotf
lies in the output encoding:
ppltotf
always outputs JIS-encoded JFM; on the other hand,
uppltotf
outputs Unicode-encoded JFM by default.
OPTIONS
Compared to pltotf, the following option is added to
(u)ppltotf.
- -kanji string
-
Sets the input Japanese Kanji code. The
string
can be one of the followings:
euc (EUC-JP),
jis (ISO-2022-JP),
sjis (Shift_JIS),
utf8 (UTF-8),
uptex (UTF-8;
uppltotf
only).
When one of
euc,
jis,
sjis
or
utf8
is specified, both
ppltotf
and
uppltotf
output a JIS-encoded JFM.
When
uptex
is specified with
uppltotf,
it outputs a Unicode-encoded JFM.
