+.SH NAME
+vptovf \- convert virtual property lists to virtual font metrics
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B vptovf
+.RB [ \-verbose ]
+.IR vpl_name [ \fB.vpl\fP ]
+.RI [ vfm_name [ \fB.vf\fP ]
+.RI [ tfm_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 vptovf
+program translates a (human-oriented) property list file to a pair of
+(program-oriented) files in the VF (virtual font) and TFM (\*(TX font metric)
+formats. Thus, a virtual font
+file can be edited and its exact contents
+can be displayed mnemonically.
+New virtual fonts, which map characters as seen by \*(TX into an arbitrary
+sequence of low-level typesetting operations,
+can also be created in this way.
+.PP
+All three filenames,
+.IR vpl_name ,
+.IR vf_name ,
+and
+.IR tfm_name ,
+are extended with the appropriate suffix, if they lack one.
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH OPTIONS
+Without the
+.B \-verbose
+option,
+.B vptovf
+operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed on
+.IR stdout .
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.BR pltotf (1),
+.BR tftopl (1),
+.BR vftovp (1).
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH AUTHORS
+Donald E. Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an idea of David Fuchs,
+starting with the code for
+.BR pltotf (1).
+Karl Berry adapted it for compilation with
+.BR web2c .
