PKTOGF(1L)							    PKTOGF(1L)

NAME
       pktogf - convert packed font files to generic font files

SYNOPSIS
       pktogf [-v] pk_file_name [gf_file_name]

DESCRIPTION
       Gftopk  converts a packed font file back to a generic font file for use
       by dvi-reading programs. Packed font files are much  smaller  than  the
       corresponding gf files, but many devices use generic font files.

       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 gf
       file name defaults to the same stripped name as the pk file, and it  is
       placed  in  the	current	 working  directory  with  the	`gf' extension
       replacing `pk'. For example,  the  input	 file  io.300pk	 would	become
       io.300gf.

       Unless  the  pk	filename  begins with a / (absolute path), pktogf will
       search the environment variable PKFONTS for an  input  directory	 path,
       and  will  default  to  the TEXFONTS directory path if PKFONTS does not
       exist.  It runs absolutely silently, unless the -v flag is set.
