20 !!DESCRIPTION
21
22
23 This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
24 documentation for this version of TEX can be found in the
25 info file or manual ''Web2C: A TeX
26 implementation''.

29 The __pktogf__ program converts a packed font file
30 (''pk'') to a generic font file (''gf''). Packed font
31 files are much smaller than the corresponding ''gf''
32 files, but some DVI readers only understand ''gf''
33 files.

36 The ''pk_file_name'' on the command line must be
37 complete. Because the resolution is part of the extension,
38 it would not make sense to append a default extension as is
39 done with TEX or DVI-reading software. The
40 ''gf_file_name'' defaults to the same (stripped) name as
41 ''pk_file_name'', and it is placed in the current working
42 directory with the ''gf'' suffix replacing ''pk''. For
43 example, the input file ''io.300pk'' would become
44 ''io.300gf''.

48 Unless the __-v__ switch is given, __pktogf__ operates
49 silently. With __-v__, the version number of the program
50 and statistics about the unpacking are output to
51 ''stdout''.
52 !!ENVIRONMENT
53
54
55 __pktogf__ looks for ''pk_file_name'' using the
56 environment variable PKFONTS. If that is not set, it uses
57 the variable TEXPKS. If that is not set, it uses TEXFONTS.
58 If that is not set, it uses the system default.
