.SH NAME
pltotf \- convert property list files to TeX font metric (tfm) format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pltotf
[
.B \-verbose
]
.I pl_file_name
.I tfm_file_name
.\"=====================================================================
.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 pltotf
program translates a (human-oriented) \*(WB property list file to a
(program-oriented) \*(TX font metric file. Thus, after editing the property
list file, a TFM file can be generated for use with, for example,
.BR tex (1).
.PP
Both the
.I pl_file_name
and the
.I tfm_file_name
must be complete; no adding of default extensions or path searching is done.
.\"=====================================================================
.SH OPTIONS
Without the
.B \-verbose
option,
.B pltotf
operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed on
.IR stdout .
.\"=====================================================================
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR tftopl (1).

.SH AUTHORS
Donald E. Knuth wrote the program. It was published as
part of the
.I \*(OXware
technical report, available from the \*(TX Users Group.
Howard Trickey, Pavel Curtis, and Richard Furuta originally ported it to
Unix.
