The complete documentation for this version\nof TeX can be found in the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.\n\nThe vftovp program translates a (program-oriented) virtual font file and its accompanying TeX\nfont  metric  file  to  a (human-oriented) property list file.  Thus, the virtual font can be\nedited, and its exact contents can be displayed mnemonically.  It also serves  as  a  VF-file\nvalidating program; if no error messages are given, the input files are correct.\n\nThe filenames are extended with the appropriate extension if necessary.\n\n### OPTIONS\n\n#### -charcode-format=\n\nThe  argument format specifies how character codes are output in the VPL file.  By de‐\nfault, only letters and digits are output using the C integer code (i.e.,  in  ASCII);\nthe others are output in octal.  (Unless the font's coding scheme starts with TeX math\nsy or TeX math ex, when all are output in octal.)  If format is ascii,  all  character\ncodes  that  correspond to graphic characters, besides the left and right parentheses,\nare output in ASCII.  On the other hand, if format is octal, all character  codes  are\noutput in octal.\n\n#### -verbose\n\nWithout  this option, vftovp operates silently.  With it, a banner and progress report\nare printed on stdout.\n\n### ENVIRONMENT\n\nvftovp looks for vfname using the environment variable VFFONTS.  If that is not set, it uses\nthe variable TEXFONTS.  If that is not set, it uses the system default.\n\nSee tex(1) for the details of the searching.\n\n### SEE ALSO\n\npltotf(1), tftopl(1), vptovf(1).\n\n### AUTHORS\n\nDonald E. Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an idea of David Fuchs, starting with the\ncode for tftopl(1).  Karl Berry adapted it for compilation with web2c.\n\n\n\nWeb2C 2022/dev                              16 June 2015                                   VFTOVP(1)\n\n"
