PKTOGF(1)		    General Commands Manual		     PKTOGF(1)

NAME
       pktogf -	convert	packed font files to generic font files

SYNOPSIS
       pktogf [-v] pk_file_name	[gf_file_name]

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual page is not	meant to be exhaustive.	 The complete documen-
       tation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or	manual
       Web2C: A	TeX implementation.

       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 pk_file_name	on the command line must be complete. Because the res-
       olution	is  part of the	extension, it would not	make sense to append a
       default extension as is done with  TeX  or  DVI-reading	software.  The
       gf_file_name  defaults to the same (stripped) name as pk_file_name, and
       it is placed in the current working directory with the  gf  suffix  re-
       placing	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	pk_file_name using the environment  variable  PKFONTS.
       If  that	 is not	set, it	uses the variable TEXPKS.  If that is not set,
       it uses TEXFONTS.  If that is not set, it uses the system default.

       See tex(1) for the details of the searching.

       tion with web2c.
