pktogf(1)

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.

   compilation with web2c.
