PKTOGF(1) UNIX 5.3 (8/8/90) PKTOGF(1)
NAME
pktogf - convert packed font files to generic font files
SYNOPSIS
pktogf [-v] pk_file_name [gf_file_name]
DESCRIPTION
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 add on 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.
OPTIONS
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.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
pktogf uses the environment variable PKFONTS to search for
the PK file. If PKFONTS is not set, it uses the variable
TEXFONTS. If TEXFONTS is not set, it uses the system
default: . See tex(1) for the details of the searching.
