VPTOVF(1) UNIX 5.3 (5/27/90) VPTOVF(1)
NAME
vptovf - convert virtual property list files to virtual
fonts
SYNOPSIS
vptovf vpl_file_name vfm_file_name tfm_file_name
DESCRIPTION
The vptovf program translates a (human-oriented) property
list file to a pair of (program-oriented) files in the VF
(virtual font) and TFM (TeX font metric) formats. Thus, a
virtual font file can be edited and its exact contents can
be displayed mnemonically. New virtual fonts, which map
characters as seen by TeX into an arbitrary sequence of
low-level typesetting operations, can also be created in
this way.
All three file names, vpl_file_name, vf_file_name, and
tfm_file_name, must be complete. No adding of default
extensions or path searching is done.
AUTHORS
Donald Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an idea of
David Fuchs, starting with the code for pltotf(1). Karl
Berry originally ported it to Unix.
