+.SH NAME
+pltotf \- convert property list files to TeX font metric (tfm) format
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pltotf
+.RB [ \-verbose ]
+.IR pl_file_name [ \fB.pl\fP ]
+.RI [ tfm_file_name [ \fB.tfm\fP ]]
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
+documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file
+or manual
+.IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" .
+.PP
+The
+.B pltotf
+program translates a (human-oriented) property list file to a
+(program-oriented) \*(TX font metric file. Thus, after editing the property
+list file, a TFM file can be generated for use with, for example,
+.BR tex (1).
+.PP
+The
+.I pl_file_name
+is extended with
+.B .pl
+if it lacks a suffix. No path searching is done.
+.PP
+If no
+.I tfm_file_name
+is given, the basename of
+.I pl_file_name
+with suffix
+.B .tfm
+is used; otherwise
+.I tfm_file_name
+is extended with
+.B .tfm
+if it lacks a suffix.
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH OPTIONS
+Without the
+.B \-verbose
+option,
+.B pltotf
+operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed on
+.IR stdout .
+.\"=====================================================================

+Unix.
