11.9 VPtoVF: Virtual property lists to virtual font

VPtoVF translates a virtual property list file (as output by VFtoVP, for
example) to virtual font (VF, *note (dvips)Virtual fonts::) and TeX font
metric (TFM, *note (dvips)Metric files::) files.  It's much easier for
both programs and humans to create the (plain text) property list files
and let VPtoVF take care of creating the binary VF and TFM equivalents
than to output them directly.  Synopsis:

     vptovf [OPTION]... VPLFILE[.vpl] [VFFILE[.vf] [TFMFILE[.tfm]]]

   If VFFILE (extended with '.vf' if necessary) is not specified, the VF
output is written to the basename of 'VPLFILE.vf'; similarly for
TFMFILE.  For example, 'vptovf /wherever/ptmr.vpl' creates './ptmr.vf'
and './ptmr.tfm'.

   The only options are '-verbose', '-help', and '-version' (*note
Common options::).
