Thus, the virtual font can be edited, and its exact contents can be displayed mnemonically. It also serves as a VF-file validating program; if no error messages are given, the input files are correct. .PP The .I vpl_file_name must be complete; no adding of default extensions is done. .\"===================================================================== .SH OPTIONS The argument .I format to .B \-charcode-format specifies how character codes are output in the PL file. By default, only letters and digits are output using the .B C integer code (i.e., in ASCII); the others are output in octal. (Unless the font's coding scheme starts with .B "TeX math sy" or .BR "TeX math ex" , that is, when all are output in octal.) If .I format is .BR ascii , all character codes that correspond to graphic characters, besides the left and right parentheses, are output in ASCII. On the other hand, if .I format is .BR octal , all character codes are output in octal. .PP Without the .B \-verbose option, .B vftovp operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed on .IR stdout . .\"===================================================================== .SH ENVIRONMENT .B vftovp looks for .I vf_file_name using the environment variable VFFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the variable TEXFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the system default: .br .I @DEFAULT_VF_PATH@ .PP See .BR tex (1) for the details of the searching. .\"===================================================================== .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR pltotf (1), .BR tftopl (1), .BR vptovf (1). .\"===================================================================== .SH AUTHORS Donald E. Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an idea of David Fuchs, starting with the code for .BR tftopl (1). Karl Berry adapted it for compilation with .BR web2c .
