- 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 exten-
- sions 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.
