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

28 The __pltotf__ program translates a (human-oriented) W
29 EB property list file to a (program-oriented)
30 TEX font metric file. Thus, after editing the property list
31 file, a TFM file can be generated for use with, for example,
32 tex(1).

35 Both the ''pl_file_name'' and the ''tfm_file_name''
36 must be complete; no adding of default extensions or path
37 searching is done.

41 Without the __-verbose__ option, __pltotf__ operates
42 silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed
43 on ''stdout''.
