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.
