TFTOPL(1) UNIX 5.3 (5/27/90) TFTOPL(1)
NAME
tftopl - convert font metric (tfm) files to property list
format
SYNOPSIS
tftopl tfm_file_name pl_file_name
DESCRIPTION
The tftopl program translates a (program-oriented) font
metric file to a (human-oriented) property list file. Thus,
you can edit the contents of the TFM files, if the font
designer has not done his or her job properly, or if you're
encountering strange difficulties, or if you're just
curious. It also serves as a TFM-file validating
program,i.e., if no error messages are given, the input file
is correct.
Both the tfm_file_name and the pl_file_name must be
complete. No adding of default extensions or path searching
is done.
