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

30 The __vftovp__ program translates a (program-oriented)
31 virtual font file and its accompanying TEX font metric file
32 to a (human-oriented) property list file. Thus, the virtual
33 font can be edited, and its exact contents can be displayed
34 mnemonically. It also serves as a VF-file validating
35 program; if no error messages are given, the input files are
36 correct.

39 The filenames are extended with the appropriate extension if
40 necessary.
41 !!OPTIONS
42
43
44 The argument ''format'' to __-charcode-format__
45 specifies how character codes are output in the VPL file. By
46 default, only letters and digits are output using the
47 __C__ integer code (i.e., in ASCII); the others are
48 output in octal. (Unless the font's coding scheme starts
49 with __TeX math sy__ or __TeX math ex__, when all are
50 output in octal.) If ''format'' is __ascii__, all
51 character codes that correspond to graphic characters,
52 besides the left and right parentheses, are output in ASCII.
53 On the other hand, if ''format'' is __octal__, all
54 character codes are output in octal.
55
56
57 Without the __-verbose__ option, __vftovp__ operates
58 silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed
59 on ''stdout''.
60 !!ENVIRONMENT
61
62
63 __vftovp__ looks for ''vf_name'' using the environment
64 variable VFFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the variable
65 TEXFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the system
66 default.

70 searching.

79 Donald E. Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an idea
80 of David Fuchs, starting with the code for tftopl(1).
81 Karl Berry adapted it for compilation with
82 __web2c__.
