NAME

6       ptftopl,  uptftopl  -  Convert Japanese pTeX font metric (JFM) files to
7       property list
8

SYNOPSIS

10       ptftopl [OPTIONS] tfm_name[.tfm] [pl_name[.pl]]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The ptftopl program translates a Japanese pTeX font metric  (JFM)  file
14       to  a  Japanese property list (JPL) file.  It also serves as a TFM/JFM-
15       file validating program.
16
17       The uptftopl program is a Unicode-enabled version of ptftopl.
18
19       In the following sections, we refer to these programs as (u)ptftopl.
20
21       (u)ptftopl is upper compatible with tftopl; if the input  TFM  file  is
22       for  roman fonts, it is translated into an ordinary property list file.
23       The difference between ptftopl and uptftopl lies in the internal encod‐
24       ing:  when  the input is a JFM file, ptftopl always treats it as a JIS-
25       encoded JFM; on the other hand, uptftopl treats it as a Unicode-encoded
26       JFM by default.
27

OPTIONS

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