       pltotf  -  convert  property list files to TeX font metric
       (tfm) format

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       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 ppllttoottff program translates a (human-oriented) Web prop-
       erty  list  file  to  a (program-oriented) TeX font metric
       file. Thus, after editing the property list  file,  a  TFM
       file can be generated for use with, for example, tteexx(1).

       Both  the  _p_l___f_i_l_e___n_a_m_e and the _t_f_m___f_i_l_e___n_a_m_e must be com-
       plete; no adding of default extensions or  path  searching
       is done.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       Without  the  --vveerrbboossee  option,  ppllttoottff operates silently.
       With it, a banner and progress report are printed on  _s_t_d_-
       _o_u_t.

       Donald  E.  Knuth  wrote  the program. It was published as
       part of the _T_e_X_w_a_r_e technical report, available  from  the
       TeX  Users  Group.   Howard  Trickey,  Pavel  Curtis,  and
       Richard Furuta originally ported it to Unix.
