PLTOTF(1L)

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

SYNOPSIS
pltotf pl_file_name tfm_file_name

DESCRIPTION
PLtoTF translates a (human-readable) property list file to a (program-readable) font metric file. Thus, the font metric file can be edited (although this should not be necessary since METAFONT84 has been released), and its exact contents can be displayed mnemonically.

Both the pl_file_name and the tfm_file_name must be complete. No adding of default extensions is done.
