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 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 input
       JFM as JIS-encoded.  When uptex is specified with uptftopl, it treats the input JFM  as  Uni‐
       code-encoded.
