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''. |

The __tftopl__ program translates a (program-oriented) |
| |
|
30 |
font metric file to a (human-oriented) property list file. |
| |
|
31 |
Thus, you can edit the contents of the TFM files, if the |
| |
|
32 |
font designer has not done his or her job properly, or if |
| |
|
33 |
you're encountering strange difficulties, or if you're just |
| |
|
34 |
curious. It also serves as a TFM-file validating program, |
| |
|
35 |
i.e., if no error messages are given, the input file is |
| |
|
36 |
correct. |
| |
|

|

|
| |
|

The ''pl_name'' is extended with ''.pl'' if it lacks a |
| |
|
40 |
suffix. If ''pl_name'' is not given, standard output is |
| |
|
41 |
used. Likewise, ''tfm_name'' is extended with ''.tfm'' |
| |
|
42 |
if it lacks a suffix. Also, path searching is done for the |
| |
|
43 |
''.tfm'' file using the environment variable TEXFONTS. If |
| |
|
44 |
that is not set, __tftopl__ uses the system |
| |
|
45 |
default. |
| |
|

|

|

See tex(1) for the details of the |
| |
|
49 |
searching. |

!!OPTIONS |

|

|

|
| |
|
53 |
The argument ''format'' to __-charcode-format__ |
| |
|
54 |
specifies how character codes are output in the PL file. By |
| |
|
55 |
default, only letters and digits are output using the |
| |
|
56 |
__C__ integer code (i.e., in ASCII); the others are |
| |
|
57 |
output in octal. (Unless the font's coding scheme starts |
| |
|
58 |
with __TeX math sy__ or __TeX math ex__, in which case |
| |
|
59 |
all character codes are output in octal.) If ''format'' |
| |
|
60 |
is __ascii__, all character codes that correspond to |
| |
|
61 |
graphic characters, besides the left and right parentheses, |
| |
|
62 |
are output in ASCII. Finally, if ''format'' is |
| |
|
63 |
__octal__, all character codes are output in |
| |
|
64 |
octal. |
| |
|
65 |
|
| |
|
66 |
|
| |
|
67 |
Without the __-verbose__ option, __tftopl__ operates |
| |
|
68 |
silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed |
| |
|
69 |
on ''stdout''. |

Donald E. Knuth wrote the program. It was published as part |
| |
|
82 |
of the ''TEXware'' technical report, available from the |
| |
|
83 |
TEX Users Group. Howard Trickey and Pavel Curtis originally |
| |
|
84 |
ported it to Unix. |
