PTFTOPL(1) General Commands Manual PTFTOPL(1)
NAME
ptftopl, uptftopl - Convert Japanese pTeX font metric (JFM) files to
propery list
SYNOPSIS
ptftopl [OPTIONS] tfm_name[.tfm] [pl_name[.pl]]
DESCRIPTION
The ptftopl program translates a Japanese pTeX font metric (JFM) file
to a Japanese property list (JPL) file. It also serves as a TFM/JFM-
file validating program.
The uptftopl program is a Unicode-enabled version of ptftopl.
In the following sections, we refer to these programs as (u)ptftopl.
(u)ptftopl is upper compatible with tftopl; if the input TFM file is
for roman fonts, it is translated into an ordinary property list file.
The difference between ptftopl and uptftopl lies in the internal encod-
ing: when the input is a JFM file, ptftopl always treats it as a JIS-
encoded JFM; on the other hand, uptftopl treats it as a Unicode-encoded
JFM by default.
OPTIONS
Compared to tftopl, the following option is added to (u)ptftopl.
-kanji string
Sets the output Japanese Kanji code. The string can be one of
the followings: euc (EUC-JP), jis (ISO-2022-JP),
sjis (Shift_JIS), utf8 (UTF-8), uptex (UTF-8; uptftopl only).
When one of euc, jis, sjis or utf8 is specified, both ptftopl and up-
tftopl treats the input JFM as JIS-encoded. When uptex is specified
with uptftopl, it treats the input JFM as Unicode-encoded.
