pltotf - convert property list files to TeX font metric (tfm) format
Contents
Description
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 pltotf program translates a (human-oriented) property list file to a (program-oriented) TeX font
metric file. Thus, after editing the property list file, a TFM file can be generated for use with, for
example, tex(1).
The pl_file_name is extended with .pl if it lacks a suffix. No path searching is done.
If no tfm_file_name is given, the basename of pl_file_name with suffix .tfm is used; otherwise
tfm_file_name is extended with .tfm if it lacks a suffix.
