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.
