pltotf - convert property list files to TeX font metric
(tfm) format
SYNOPSIS
pltotf [ -verbose ] pl_file_name tfm_file_name
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The com
plete 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) Web prop
erty 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).
Both the pl_file_name and the tfm_file_name must be com
plete; no adding of default extensions or path searching
is done.
OPTIONS
Without the -verbose option, pltotf operates silently.
With it, a banner and progress report are printed on std
out.
