PLTOTF(1)		     General Commands Manual		       PLTOTF(1)

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

SYNOPSIS
     pltotf [-verbose] pl_file_name[.pl] [tfm_file_name[.tfm]]

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 pltotf program translates a (human-oriented) property list  file  to  a
     (program-oriented)  TeX  font metric file. Thus, after editing the property
     list file, a TFM file can be generated for use with, for example, tex(1).

     The pl_file_name is extended with .pl if it lacks a suffix. No path search-
     ing is done.

     If no tfm_file_name is given, the basename of pl_file_name with suffix .tfm
     is used; otherwise tfm_file_name is extended with .tfm if it lacks  a  suf-
     fix.

OPTIONS
     Without  the  -verbose option, pltotf operates silently.  With it, a banner
     and progress report are printed on stdout.

     Donald E. Knuth wrote the program. It was published as part of the  TeXware
     technical	report,  available  from  the  TeX Users Group.  Howard Trickey,
     Pavel Curtis, and Richard Furuta originally ported it to Unix.
