PLTOTF(1)                    UNIX System V(1/6/91)                    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 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 tex(1) for the details of
      specifying options.
