!!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) W
EB 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''.

!!AUTHORS


Donald E. Knuth wrote the program. It was published as part
of the ''TEXware'' technical report, available from the
TEX Users Group. Howard Trickey, Pavel Curtis, and Richard
Furuta originally ported it to Unix.
