+.SH NAME
+vftovp \- convert virtual font (vf) files to virtual property lists (vpl)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B vftovp
+.RI [ OPTIONS ]
+.IR vf_name [ \fB.vf\fP ]
+.RI [ tfm_name [ \fB.tfm\fP ]
+.RI [ vpl_name [ \fB.vpl\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 vftovp
+program translates a (program-oriented) virtual font file and its
+accompanying \*(TX font metric file to a (human-oriented) property list file.
+Thus, the virtual font can be edited, and its exact contents can be
+displayed mnemonically. It also serves as a VF-file validating program;
+if no error messages are given, the input files are correct.
+.PP
+The filenames are extended with the appropriate extension if necessary.
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-charcode-format= format
+The argument
+.I format
+specifies how character codes are output in the VPL file. By
+default, only letters and digits are output using the
+.B C
+integer code (i.e., in ASCII); the others are output in octal. (Unless
+the font's coding scheme starts with
+.B "TeX math sy"
+or
+.BR "TeX math ex" ,
+when all are output in octal.) If
+.I format
+is
+.BR ascii ,
+all character codes that correspond to graphic characters, besides the
+left and right parentheses, are output in ASCII. On the other hand, if
+.I format
+is
+.BR octal ,
+all character codes are output in octal.
+.PP
+.TP
+.B \-verbose
+Without this option,
+.B vftovp
+operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed on
+.IR stdout .
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.B vftovp
+looks for
+.I vf_name
+using the
+environment variable VFFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the variable
+TEXFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the system default.
+.PP
+See
+.BR tex (1)
+for the details of the searching.
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.BR pltotf (1),
+.BR tftopl (1),
+.BR vptovf (1).
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH AUTHORS
+Donald E. Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an idea of David Fuchs,
+starting with the code for
+.BR tftopl (1).
+Karl Berry adapted it for compilation with
+.BR web2c .
