NAME
     tftopl - convert TeX font metric  (tfm)  files  to  property
     lists

SYNOPSIS
     tftopl   [   -charcode-format=format   ]   [   -verbose    ]
     tfm_name[.tfm] [ pl_name[.pl] ]

DESCRIPTION
     This manual page is not meant to be  exhaustive.   The  com-
     plete  documentation for this version of TeX can be found in
     the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.

     The tftopl  program  translates  a  (program-oriented)  font
     metric file to a (human-oriented) property list file.  Thus,
     you can edit the contents of the  TFM  files,  if  the  font
     designer  has not done his or her job properly, or if you're
     encountering strange difficulties, or if you're  just  curi-
     ous.  It also serves as a TFM-file validating program, i.e.,
     if no error messages are given, the input file is correct.

     The pl_name is extended with .pl if it lacks a  suffix.   If
     pl_name  is  not  given,  standard output is used. Likewise,
     tfm_name is extended with .tfm if it lacks a suffix.   Also,
     path  searching is done for the .tfm file using the environ-
     ment variable TEXFONTS.  If that is not set, tftopl uses the
     system default.

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

OPTIONS
     The argument format to -charcode-format specifies how  char-
     acter  codes  are  output  in the PL 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,  in which case all character codes 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.  Finally, if format is octal, all char-
     acter codes are output in octal.

     Without the -verbose option, tftopl operates silently.  With
     it, a banner and progress report are printed on stdout.
