- 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 pro-
- gram; 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: TeX:fonts. 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.
