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 +The argument +.I format +to +.B \-charcode-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 +Without the +.B \-verbose +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.
