pltotf1
Convert a property list (pl) file to tex font metric (tfm) format
Usage
pltotf [-verbose]
pl_file
[.pl]
[tfm_file
[.tfm]]
Overview
The pltotf program translates a (plain text) property list file to a (binary) TeX font metric file. Thus, after editing the property list file, a revised tfm file can be generated for use with, for example, tex(1).
The pl_file is extended with ".pl" if it lacks a suffix. No path searching is done.
If no tfm_file is given, the basename of pl_file with suffix ".tfm" is used; otherwise, tfm_file is extended with ".tfm" if it lacks a suffix.
Options
See tex(1) for details of command-line parsing.
By default, pltotf operates silently. With the -v (a.k.a. -verbose) option, some reports are printed on stdout.
The standard -help and -version options are also supported.
