NAME
       vftovp  -  convert  virtual  font  (vf) files to virtual property lists
       (vpl)

SYNOPSIS
       vftovp  [  -charcode-format=format  ]   [   -verbose   ]	  vf_name[.vf]
       tfm_name[.tfm] [ vpl_name[.vpl] ]

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.	 The complete documen‐
       tation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or	manual
       Web2C: A TeX implementation.

       The  vftovp  program  translates a (program-oriented) virtual font file
       and its accompanying TeX font metric file to a  (human-oriented)	 prop‐
       erty  list  file.   Thus, the virtual font can be edited, and its exact
       contents can be displayed mnemonically.	It also serves	as  a  VF-file
       validating program; if no error messages are given, the input files are
       correct.

       The filenames are extended with the appropriate extension if necessary.

OPTIONS
       The argument format to -charcode-format specifies how  character	 codes
       are  output  in	the VPL file.  By default, only letters and digits are
       output using the C integer code (i.e., in ASCII); the others are output
       in  octal.  (Unless the font's coding scheme starts with TeX math sy or
       TeX math ex, when all are output in octal.)  If format  is  ascii,  all
       character codes that correspond to graphic characters, besides the left
       and right parentheses, are output in ASCII.  On the other hand, if for‐
       mat is octal, all character codes are output in octal.

       Without the -verbose option, vftovp operates silently.  With it, a ban‐
       ner and progress report are printed on stdout.

ENVIRONMENT
       vftovp looks for vf_name using the environment  variable	 VFFONTS.   If
       that is not set, it uses the variable TEXFONTS.	If that is not set, it
       uses the system default.

       See tex(1) for the details of the searching.

AUTHORS
       Donald E. Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an  idea  of	 David
       Fuchs, starting with the code for tftopl(1).  Karl Berry adapted it for
       compilation with web2c.
