NAME
vptovf - convert virtual property lists to virtual font metrics
SYNOPSIS
vptovf [ -verbose ] vpl_name[.vpl] vfm_name[.vf] tfm_name[.tfm]
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 vptovf program translates a (human-oriented) property list file to a pair of (program-oriented) files in the VF (virtual font) and TFM (TeX font metric) formats. Thus, a virtual font file can be edited and its exact contents can be displayed mnemonically. New virtual fonts, which map characters as seen by TeX into an arbitrary sequence of low-level typesetting operations, can also be created in this way. All three filenames, vpl_name, vf_name, and tfm_name, are extended with the appropriate suffix, if they lack one.
OPTIONS
Without the -verbose option, vptovf operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed on stdout.
SEE ALSO
pltotf(1), tftopl(1), vftovp(1).
