NAME
pltotf - convert property list files to TeX font
metric (tfm) format
SYNOPSIS
pltotf [ -verbose ]
pl_file_name tfm_file_name
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.
The complete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in
the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.
The pltotf program translates a (human-oriented) Web
property list file to a (program-oriented) TeX font metric file.
Thus, after editing the property list file, a TFM file can be
generated for use with, for example, tex(1).
Both the pl_file_name and the tfm_file_name must
be complete; no adding of default extensions or path searching is
done.
OPTIONS
Without the -verbose option, pltotf
operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are
printed on stdout.
