NAME

       ptftopl, uptftopl - Convert Japanese pTeX font metric (JFM) files to property 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; uptftopl 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 Unicode-encoded.
