NAME
patgen - generate patterns for TeX hyphenation SYNOPSIS
patgen dictionary_file pattern_file log_file translate_file 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 patgen program reads the dictionary_file and produces the pattern_file, writing a transcript of its actions on the log_file. The dic- tionary_file should contain a list of hyphenated words and previously-generated patterns. The patterns thus generated can be read by initex for use in hyphenating words. For a (very) long example of patgen's output, see $TEXMF- MAIN/generic/hyphen/hyphen.tex, which contains the patterns TeX uses for English. At some sites, patterns for several other languages may be available, and the local tex programs may have them preloaded; consult your Local Guide or your system administrator for details. All filenames must be complete; no adding of default extensions or path searching is done. FILES

NAME
pltotf - convert property list files to TeX font metric (tfm) format SYNOPSIS
pltotf [-verbose] pl_file_name[.pl] [tfm_file_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 pltotf program translates a (human-oriented) 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). The pl_file_name is extended with .pl if it lacks a suffix. No path searching is done. If no tfm_file_name is given, the basename of pl_file_name with suffix .tfm is used; otherwise tfm_file_name is extended with .tfm if it lacks a suffix. OPTIONS
Without the -verbose option, pltotf operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed on stdout. SEE ALSO
