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 documentation
     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  resolu-
     tion  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 de-
     faults to the same (stripped) name as pk_file_name, 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 ver-
     sion 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.

     with web2c.
