.TH VFTOVP 1L  12/30/89
.SH NAME
vftovp - convert virtual font (vf) files to virtual property list
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B vftovp
vf_file_name tfm_file_name vpl_file_name
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I VFtoVP
translates a (program-readable) virtual font file
and its accompanying font metric file to
a (human-readable) property list file. Thus, the virtual font
can be edited, and its exact contents can be displayed mnemonically.
.I VFtoVP
also serves as a VF-file validating program; if no error messages are given,
the input files are correct.
.PP
All three file names,
.I vf_file_name,
.I tfm_file_name,
and
.I vpl_file_name,
must be complete. No adding of default extensions is done.
.SH "AUTHOR"
Donald Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an idea of David Fuchs,
starting with the code for TFtoPL.
