VFtoVP converts virtual font (VF) files to virtual property list (VPL)
files.
Given an input file called cmr10.vf, VFtoVP will create cmr10.vpl.
VPL files are human-readable text files. VFtoVP can be used in
conjunction with VPtoVF to make changes to existing virtual fonts.
Virtual fonts map characters as seen by TeX into an arbitrary sequence
of low-level typesetting operations. See the OzTeX User Guide for
more details, plus the Help menu item called "Knuth on VFs".
VFtoVP also serves as a VF file-validating program; if no error
messages appear then the given VF file is correct.
VFtoVP uses the verbose flag to determine how much feedback will appear
in the OzMF window. OzMF's Default config file sets the flag to false.
VFtoVP uses the tfm_folders parameter to locate TFM files referenced
in the VF file. OzMF's Default setting for tfm_folders matches the
setting in OzTeX's Default config file.
Donald Knuth wrote the original version of VFtoVP, based in part on
an idea of David Fuchs.
