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

     SYNOPSIS
          vftovp [ -charcode-format=format ] [ -verbose ] vf_file_name
          tfm_file_name [ vpl_file_name ]

     DESCRIPTION
          The vftovp program translates a (program-oriented) virtual
          font file and its accompanying TeX font metric file to a
          (human-oriented) property 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 vpl_file_name must be complete; no adding of default
          extensions is done.

     OPTIONS
          The argument format to -charcode-format specifies how
          character codes are output in the PL 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, that is, 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.

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

     ENVIRONMENT
          vftovp looks for vf_file_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:
          @DEFAULT_VF_PATH@

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

     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.
