NAME

6       ppltotf, uppltotf - Create Japanese pTeX font metric (JFM)
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ppltotf [options] pl_file_name[.pl] [tfm_file_name[.tfm]]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The ppltotf program translates a Japanese property list (JPL) file to a
13       Japanese pTeX font metric (JFM) file.  The resulting JFM  file  can  be
14       used with pTeX and e-pTeX.
15
16       The  uppltotf program is a Unicode-enabled version of ppltotf.  The re‐
17       sulting JFM file can be used with upTeX and e-upTeX.
18
19       In the following sections, we refer to these programs as (u)ppltotf.
20
21       (u)ppltotf is upper compatible with pltotf; if the input PL file is for
22       roman  fonts,  it  is translated into an ordinary TeX font metric (TFM)
23       file.  The difference between ppltotf and uppltotf lies in  the  output
24       encoding:  ppltotf  always  outputs JIS-encoded JFM; on the other hand,
25       uppltotf outputs Unicode-encoded JFM by default.
26

OPTIONS

28       Compared to pltotf, the following option is added to (u)ppltotf.
29
30       -kanji string
31              Sets the input Japanese Kanji code.  The string can  be  one  of
32              the       followings:      euc (EUC-JP),      jis (ISO-2022-JP),
33              sjis (Shift_JIS), utf8 (UTF-8), uptex (UTF-8; uppltotf only).
34
35       When one of euc, jis, sjis or utf8 is specified, both ppltotf  and  up‐
36       pltotf  output  a  JIS-encoded  JFM.   When uptex is specified with up‐
37       pltotf, it outputs a Unicode-encoded JFM.
