            "content": "The  ptftopl program translates a Japanese pTeX font metric (JFM) file to a Japanese property\nlist (JPL) file.  It also serves as a TFM/JFM-file validating program.\n\nThe uptftopl program is a Unicode-enabled version of ptftopl.\n\nIn the following sections, we refer to these programs as (u)ptftopl.\n\n(u)ptftopl is upper compatible with tftopl; if the input TFM file is for roman fonts,  it  is\ntranslated  into an ordinary property list file.  The difference between ptftopl and uptftopl\nlies in the internal encoding: when the input is a JFM file, ptftopl always treats  it  as  a\nJIS-encoded JFM; on the other hand, uptftopl treats it as a Unicode-encoded JFM by default.\n",
