Synopsis:\n\npktogf [OPTION]... PKNAME.DPI[pk] [GFFILE]\n\nThe font PKNAME is searched for in the usual places (*note\n(kpathsea)Glyph lookup::).  To see all the relevant paths, set the\nenvironment variable 'KPATHSEADEBUG' to '-1' before running the\nprogram.\n\nThe suffix 'pk' is supplied if not already present.  This suffix is\nnot an extension; no '.' precedes it: for instance, 'cmr10.600pk'.\n\nIf GFFILE is not specified, the output is written to the basename of\n'PKNAME.DPIgf', e.g., 'pktogf /wherever/cmr10.600pk' creates\n'./cmr10.600gf'.\n\nThe only options are '--verbose', '--help', and '--version' (*note\nCommon options::).\n",
