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

Authors

       Donald E. Knuth wrote the program. It was published as part of the TeXware  technical  report,  available
       from the TeX Users Group.  Howard Trickey, Pavel Curtis, and Richard Furuta originally ported it to Unix.

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.

Name

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

Options

       Without the -verbose option, pltotf operates silently.  With it, a banner and progress report are printed
       on stdout.
