NAME
pktogf - convert packed font files to generic font files
SYNOPSIS
pktogf
[
-v
]
pk_file_name
[
gf_file_name
]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
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.
ENVIRONMENT
pktogf
looks for
pk_file_name
using the
environment variable 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.
