pktogf - convert packed font files to generic font files

       Tomas Rokicki wrote the program.  Pierre MacKay adapted it for compilation with web2c.

       This  manual  page is not meant to be exhaustive.  The complete documentation for this version of TeX can
       be found in the info file or manual Web2C:ATeXimplementation.

       The pktogf program converts a packed font file (pk) to a generic font file (gf).  Packed font  files  are
       much smaller than the corresponding gf files, but some DVI readers only understand gf files.

       The  pk_file_name  on the command line must be complete. Because the resolution is part of the extension,
       it would not make sense to append a default extension as is done with TeX or  DVI-reading  software.  The
       gf_file_name  defaults  to  the  same  (stripped)  name  as pk_file_name, and it is placed in the current
       working directory with the gf suffix replacing pk.  For example, the input  file  io.300pk  would  become
       io.300gf.

pktogf looks for pk_file_name using the environment variable PKFONTS.  If that is not set,  it  uses  the
       variable TEXPKS.  If that is not set, it uses TEXFONTS.  If that is not set, it uses the system default.

       See tex(1) for the details of the searching.

       Unless  the -v switch is given, pktogf operates silently.  With -v, the version number of the program and
       statistics about the unpacking are output to stdout.
