Thus, a virtual font file can be edited and its exact contents can be displayed mnemonically. New virtual fonts, which map characters as seen by \*(TX into an arbitrary sequence of low-level typesetting operations, can also be created in this way. .PP All three file names, .I vpl_file_name, .I vf_file_name, and .I tfm_file_name, must be complete; no adding of default extensions or path searching is done. .\"===================================================================== .SH OPTIONS Without the .B \-verbose option, .B vptovf operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed on .IR stdout . .\"===================================================================== .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR pltotf (1), .BR tftopl (1), .BR vftovp (1). .\"===================================================================== .SH AUTHORS Donald E. Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an idea of David Fuchs, starting with the code for .BR pltotf (1). Karl Berry adapted it for compilation with .BR web2c .
