NAME

6       pltotf - convert property list files to TeX font metric (tfm) format
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pltotf [ -verbose ] pl_file_name tfm_file_name
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.  The complete documen‐
13       tation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or  manual
14       Web2C: A TeX implementation.
15
16       The pltotf program translates a (human-oriented) Web property list file
17       to a (program-oriented) TeX font metric file. Thus, after  editing  the
18       property list file, a TFM file can be generated for use with, for exam‐
19       ple, tex(1).
20
21       Both the pl_file_name and the tfm_file_name must be complete; no adding
22       of default extensions or path searching is done.
23

OPTIONS

25       Without the -verbose option, pltotf operates silently.  With it, a ban‐
26       ner and progress report are printed on stdout.
