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 pktype +program translates a packed font file +.RI ( pk ) +(output by, for example, +.BR gftopk (1) +to a file that humans can read. It also serves as a +.I pk +file-validating program (i.e., if +.B pktype +can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a +.IR pk -reading +program for other software that wants to read +.I pk +files. +.PP +The input +.I pk_file +on the command line may omit the suffix `pk. +The plain text translation is always written to standard output. +.PP +The output file gives a compact encoding of the packed encoding, using +conventions described in the source code. Run lengths of black pixels +alternate with parenthesized run lengths of white pixels, and brackets +are used to indicate when a row should be repeated. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.B pktype +looks for +.I pk_file +in the usual places according to Kpathsea. +.PP +See +.BR tex (1) +for the details of the searching. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR dvitype (1), +.BR gftopk (1), +.BR gftype (1). +.br +Donald E.
