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.
