pltotf - convert property list files to TeX font metric
(tfm) format
pltotf [ -verbose ] pl_file_name tfm_file_name
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
documentation for this version of 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) font metric file. Thus, after
editing the property list file, a TFM file can be generated for use with,
for example, tex(1)
.
Both the pl_file_name and the tfm_file_name must be
complete; no adding of default extensions or path searching is done.
Without the -verbose option, pltotf operates silently. With it,
a banner and progress report are printed on stdout.
