+.TH AFTOPL L "10 December 1988"
+.SH NAME
+aftopl \- convert an AFM file to a TeX PL file
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B aftopl
+[
+.BI \-e encoding
+]
+.I afmfile
+[
+.I plfile
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B aftopl
+converts an AFM (Adobe Font Metric) file to a TeX PL (Property List) file.
+An extension of
+.B .afm
+can be omitted from
+.IR afmfile .
+An extension of
+.B .pl
+can be omitted from
+.IR plfile .
+If
+.I plfile
+is omitted, it will be derived from
+.I afmfile
+by replacing the extension of
+.I afmfile
+by
+.BR .pl .
+The PL file can be converted to the TFM file needed by TeX by the pltotf
+utility.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-e encoding
+Produce a PL file suitable for the font when reencoded using
+.IR encoding .
+There should be a file called
+.IB encoding .enc
+in the same place that TFM files are kept.
+This should give the PostScript name of each element of the encoding vector
+(without a leading
+.BR / ).
+Names should be separated by white space.
+Use the name
+.B .notdef
+for empty elements of the vector.
+.SH FILES
+.B /usr/local/tex/fonts/*.enc
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.BR tex (L),
+.BR pltotf (L),
+.BR dvitops (L),
+.IR "PostScript Language Reference Manual" .
+.SH BUGS
+.LP
+The same character must not occur more than once in the encoding vector.
+.LP
+There is no single `right' way to generate a PL file from an AFM file.
+.B aftopl
+tries to do something reasonable.
+If you don't like the results, you should feel free to edit the PL file.
+.LP
+If a composite character is included in the encoding vector, then all
+of its components must also be included; for example, if
+.B aacute
+occurs
+then so must
+.B a
+and
+.BR acute .
+.B aftopl
+does not check this.
