NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       pltotf [ -verbose ] pl_file_name tfm_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 pltotf program translates a (human-oriented) Web 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).

       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.
