NAME
pltotf - convert property list files to TeX font metric
(tfm) format
SYNOPSIS
pltotf [ -verbose ] pl_file_name tfm_file_name
DESCRIPTION
The pltotf program translates a (human-oriented) Web
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).
Both the pl_file_name and the tfm_file_name must be
complete; no adding of default extensions or path searching
is done.
OPTIONS
Without the -verbose option, pltotf operates silently. With
it, a banner and progress report are printed on stdout.
SEE ALSO
