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 prop-
erty 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 up-
tftopl lies in the internal encoding: 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; up-
tftopl only).
When one of euc, jis, sjis or utf8 is specified, both ptftopl and uptftopl treats the in-
put JFM as JIS-encoded. When uptex is specified with uptftopl, it treats the input JFM as
Unicode-encoded.
