       This  manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.  The com-
       plete documentation for this version of TeX can  be  found
       in the info file or manual _W_e_b_2_C_: _A _T_e_X _i_m_p_l_e_m_e_n_t_a_t_i_o_n.

       The  ppkkttooggff  program converts a packed font file (_p_k) to a
       generic font  file  (_g_f).   Packed  font  files  are  much
       smaller  than  the  corresponding  _g_f  files, but some DVI
       readers only understand _g_f files.

       The _p_k___f_i_l_e___n_a_m_e on the command  line  must  be  complete.
       Because  the resolution is part of the extension, it would
       not make sense to append a default extension  as  is  done
       with   TeX   or  DVI-reading  software.  The  _g_f___f_i_l_e___n_a_m_e
       defaults to the same (stripped) name as _p_k___f_i_l_e___n_a_m_e,  and
       it  is placed in the current working directory with the _g_f
       suffix replacing _p_k.  For example, the input file _i_o_._3_0_0_p_k
       would become _i_o_._3_0_0_g_f.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       Unless  the  --vv switch is given, ppkkttooggff operates silently.
       With --vv, the version number of the program and  statistics
       about the unpacking are output to _s_t_d_o_u_t.

EENNVVIIRROONNMMEENNTT
       ppkkttooggff  looks for _p_k___f_i_l_e___n_a_m_e using the environment vari-
       able PKFONTS.  If that is not set, it  uses  the  variable
       TEXPKS.  If that is not set, it uses TEXFONTS.  If that is
       not set, it uses the system default.

       See tteexx(1) for the details of the searching.
