NAME
pltotf - convert property list files to TeX font metric (tfm) format
SYNOPSIS
pltotf
[-verbose]
pl_file_name[.pl]
[tfm_file_name[.tfm]]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file
or manual
Web2C: A TeX implementation.
The
pltotf
program translates a (human-oriented) property list file to a
(program-oriented) TeX font metric file. Thus, after editing the property
list file, a TFM file can be generated for use with, for example,
tex(1).
The
pl_file_name
is extended with
.pl
if it lacks a suffix. No path searching is done.
If no
tfm_file_name
is given, the basename of
pl_file_name
with suffix
.tfm
is used; otherwise
tfm_file_name
is extended with
.tfm
if it lacks a suffix.
OPTIONS
Without the
-verbose
option,
pltotf
operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed on
stdout.
