The complete documentation for this version\nof TeX can be found in the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.\n\nThe pktype program translates a packed font file (pk) (output by, for example, gftopk(1) to a\nfile that humans can read. It also serves as a pk file-validating program  (i.e.,  if  pktype\ncan  read it, it's correct) and as an example of a pk-reading program for other software that\nwants to read pk files.\n\nThe input pkfile on the command line may omit the suffix `pk.  The plain text translation is\nalways written to standard output.\n\nThe output file gives a compact encoding of the packed encoding, using conventions  described\nin  the  source code. Run lengths of black pixels alternate with parenthesized run lengths of\nwhite pixels, and brackets are used to indicate when a row should be repeated.\n",
