-Vpl2vpl creates new TeX virtual fonts based on existing virtual
-fonts (\"input fonts\"). A successful run will read a vpl (Virtual
-Property List) file and a definition file, and will generate a new
-vpl file on standard output. The input font is assumed to adhere to
-the standard TeX encoding for text fonts unless it was created with
-the program afm2tfm, in which case it is assumed to conform to the
-encoding specified in the file dvips.enc. In either case, the name
-of the input font is assumed to be the name of the input file
-without its .vpl extension: it must conform to normal TeX
-conventions for naming fonts, as vpl2vpl attempts to draw
-conclusions from it about the kind of font it is dealing with.

-In the case of a non-virtual font (such as the Computer Modern
-fonts), use a pl (Property List) file, created with the standard
-utility tftopl, as the input file in place of a vpl file; vpl2vpl
-will make the necessary changes on the fly.

A typical complete sequence of commands to create a new virtual
font might therefore be
