Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Transfering unix file as an email attachment Post 4421 by Neo on Wednesday 15th of November 2000 07:39:59 PM

Sounds like your original report/file is too wide and you need to format the original report to be smaller. Changing the font size usually will not not help because the font information is not part of the flat ASCII report file.

Here are some possibilites:

(1) You must format the original report to be around 80 chars vs. the large 134 chars (maybe not what you want);

(2) You could convert the ASCII report file to another format that has formatting information, i.e. RTF, PDF, PS or some other format that has font size information and other formatting embedded in the file.

BTW: There are many kinds of freeware UNIX utilities to do this conversion. The conversion process has flags to add the formatting you need. I've even seen/used an crude ASCII to .DOC converter, but I think it was just a beta kludge.

This is an interesting question and I'm very interested to see the different approaches from other forum members. PxT, any ideas?

vftovp

VFTOVP(1)						      General Commands Manual							 VFTOVP(1)

NAME

       vftovp - convert virtual font (vf) files to virtual property lists (vpl)

SYNOPSIS

       vftovp [OPTIONS] vf_name[.vf] [tfm_name[.tfm] [vpl_name[.vpl]]]

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 vftovp program translates a (program-oriented) virtual font file and its accompanying TeX font metric file to a (human-oriented)  prop-
       erty  list  file.  Thus, the virtual font can be edited, and its exact contents can be displayed mnemonically.  It also serves as a VF-file
       validating program; if no error messages are given, the input files are correct.

       The filenames are extended with the appropriate extension if necessary.

OPTIONS

       -charcode-format=format
	      The argument format specifies how character codes are output in the VPL file.  By default, only letters and digits are output  using
	      the  C  integer  code (i.e., in ASCII); the others are output in octal.  (Unless the font's coding scheme starts with TeX math sy or
	      TeX math ex, when all are output in octal.)  If format is ascii, all character codes that correspond to graphic characters,  besides
	      the  left  and  right  parentheses,  are	output in ASCII.  On the other hand, if format is octal, all character codes are output in
	      octal.

       -verbose
	      Without this option, vftovp operates silently.  With it, a banner and progress report are printed on stdout.

ENVIRONMENT

       vftovp looks for vf_name using the environment variable VFFONTS.  If that is not set, it uses the variable TEXFONTS.  If that is  not  set,
       it uses the system default.

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

SEE ALSO

       pltotf(1), tftopl(1), vptovf(1).

AUTHORS

       Donald  E.  Knuth  wrote the program, based in part on an idea of David Fuchs, starting with the code for tftopl(1).  Karl Berry adapted it
       for compilation with web2c.
