.TH PLTOTF 1 1/6/91
.SH NAME
pltotf - convert property list files to font metric (tfm) format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pltotf
[-verbose] pl_file_name tfm_file_name
.SH DESCRIPTION
The 
.I pltotf
program translates a (human-oriented) property list file to a
(program-oriented) 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
.I -verbose
option,
.I pltotf
operates silently.  With it, a banner and progress report are printed on
.IR stdout .
See
.BR tex (1)
for the details of specifying options.
.SH "SEE ALSO"

Unix.
