.TH PKTOPX 1L  10/16/86
.SH NAME
pktopx - convert packed font files to pixel (pxl) format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pktopx
pk_file_name [pxl_file_name]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Pktopx
converts a packed font file to the older pixel format.
Packed font files are much smaller than the corresponding gf files,
and it is rapidly becoming the font format of choice. This
program thus exists primarily to be an example of a packed
font-reading program, so that device drivers can easily be
changed to use the new format.
.PP
The pk filename on the command line must be complete. Because
the resolution is part of the extension, it would not make
sense to add on a default extension as is done with TeX or
dvi-reading software. The pxl file name defaults to the same
root as the gf file, with the `pxl' extension replacing `pk'
and the ``magnification'' replacing the resolution. (The
magnification is the resolution divided by 200, multiplied
by 1,000.) For example, the input file
.I io.300pk
would become
.IR io.1500pxl .

technical report, available from Stanford. Paul Richards
ported it to Unix.
