PKTOGF(1)PKTOGF(1)NAMEpktogf - convert packed font files to generic font files
SYNOPSISpktogf [ -v ] pk_file_name [ gf_file_name ]
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 pktogf program converts a packed font file (pk) to a
generic font file (gf). Packed font files are much
smaller than the corresponding gf files, but some DVI
readers only understand gf files.
The pk_file_name on the command line must be complete.
Because the resolution is part of the extension, it would
not make sense to append a default extension as is done
with TeX or DVI-reading software. The gf_file_name
defaults to the same (stripped) name as pk_file_name, and
it is placed in the current working directory with the gf
suffix replacing pk. For example, the input file io.300pk
would become io.300gf.
OPTIONS
Unless the -v switch is given, pktogf operates silently.
With -v, the version number of the program and statistics
about the unpacking are output to stdout.
ENVIRONMENTpktogf looks for pk_file_name using the environment vari-
able PKFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the variable
TEXPKS. If that is not set, it uses TEXFONTS. If that is
not set, it uses the system default.
See tex(1) for the details of the searching.
