VFTOVP(1) UNIX System V(8/15/90) VFTOVP(1)
NAME
vftovp - convert virtual font (vf) files to virtual property list format
SYNOPSIS
vftovp vf_file_name tfm_file_name vpl_file_name
DESCRIPTION
The vftovp program translates a (program-oriented) virtual font file and
its accompanying 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. The vf_file_name is searched for using the VFFONTS environment
variable. If VFFONTS is not set, the system default is used:
/usr/TeX/fonts/tfm. The tfm_file_name is searched for using the TEXFONTS
environment variable; the default is the same. See tex(1) for the
details of the searching.
AUTHORS
Donald Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an idea of David Fuchs,
starting with the code for tftopl(1). Karl Berry originally ported it to
Unix.
