PLTOTF(1)                                               PLTOTF(1)


NAME
       pltotf  - convert property list files to font metric (tfm)
       format

SYNOPSIS
       pltotf [-verbose] pl_file_name tfm_file_name

DESCRIPTION
       The pltotf program translates a (human-oriented)  property
       list  file to a (program-oriented) 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  plfilename and the tfmfilename must be com-
       plete. 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  std-
       out.  See tex(1) for the details of specifying options.
