PKTOGF(1)                                               PKTOGF(1)


NAME
       pktogf - convert packed font files to generic font files

SYNOPSIS
       pktogf [-v] pk_file_name [gf_file_name]

DESCRIPTION
       The  pktogf  program converts a packed font file (PK) to a
       generic font file (GF). Packed font files are much smaller
       than the corresponding GF files, but some DVI readers only
       understand GF files.

       The pkfilename on the command  line  must  be  complete.
       Because  the resolution is part of the extension, it would
       not make sense to add on a default extension  as  is  done
       with   TeX   or  DVI-reading  software.  The  gffilename
       defaults to the same (stripped) name as pkfilename , and
       it  is  placed  in  the current working directory with the
       `gf' suffix replacing `pk'. For example,  the  input  file
       io.300pk would become io.300gf.

OPTIONS
       Unless  the  -v switch is given, pktogf operates silently.
       With -v, the version number of the program and  statistics
       about the unpacking are output to stdout.

ENVIRONMENT
       pktogf  looks for pkfilename first in the current direc-
       tory.  If it is not present there, it uses the environment
       variable  PKFONTS.   If that is not set, it uses the vari-
       able TEXPKS.  If that is not set, it  uses  TEXFONTS.   If
       this is not set, it uses the system defaults:
       TEXFONTS: /usr/contrib/lib/tex/fonts//:.     /*TFMfont*/,
       See tex(1) for the details of the searching.
