VFTOVP(1) UNIX 5.3 (8/15/90) VFTOVP(1)
NAME
vftovp - convert virtual font (vf) files to virtual property
list format
SYNOPSIS
vftovp vf_file_name tfm_file_name vpl_file_name
DESCRIPTION
The vftovp program translates a (program-oriented) virtual
font file and its accompanying font metric file to a
(human-oriented) property list file. Thus, the virtual font
can be edited, and its exact contents can be displayed
mnemonically. It also serves as a VF-file validating
program; if no error messages are given, the input files are
correct.
The vpl_file_name, must be complete. No adding of default
extensions is done. The vf_file_name is searched for using
the VFFONTS environment variable. If VFFONTS is not set,
the system default is used: . The tfm_file_name is searched
for using the TEXFONTS environment variable; the default is
the same. See tex(1) for the details of the searching.
AUTHORS
Donald Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an idea of
David Fuchs, starting with the code for tftopl(1). Karl
Berry originally ported it to Unix.
