NAME
vptovf - convert virtual property lists to virtual font
metrics
SYNOPSIS
vptovf [ -verbose ] vpl_name[.vpl] vfm_name[.vf]
tfm_name[.tfm]
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 vptovf program translates a (human-oriented) property
list file to a pair of (program-oriented) files in the VF
(virtual font) and TFM (TeX font metric) formats. Thus, a
virtual font file can be edited and its exact contents can
be displayed mnemonically. New virtual fonts, which map
characters as seen by TeX into an arbitrary sequence of
low-level typesetting operations, can also be created in
this way.
All three filenames, vpl_name, vf_name, and tfm_name, are
extended with the appropriate suffix, if they lack one.
OPTIONS
Without the -verbose option, vptovf operates silently. With
it, a banner and progress report are printed on stdout.
SEE ALSO
pltotf(1), tftopl(1), vftovp(1).
AUTHORS
Donald E. Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an idea
of David Fuchs, starting with the code for pltotf(1). Karl
Berry adapted it for compilation with web2c.
