- 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: TeX:fonts. See tex(1) for the details of the
- searching.

- Tomas Rokicki wrote the program. It was published as part
- of the METAFONTware technical report, available from the TeX
- Users Group. Pierre MacKay originally adapted it for compi-
- lation under web2c.
