VPtoVF: Virtual property lists to virtual font
==============================================

  VPtoVF translates a virtual property list file (as output by VFtoVP,
for example) to virtual font (VF, Note: Virtual fonts.
) and TeX font metric (TFM, Note: Metric files.
) files.  It's much easier for both programs and humans to create
the (plain text) property list files and let VPtoVF take care of
creating the binary VF and TFM equivalents than to output them
directly.  Synopsis:

     vptovf [OPTION]... VPLFILE[.vpl] [VFFILE[.vf] [TFMFILE[.tfm]]]

  If VFFILE (extended with `.vf' if necessary) is not specified, the VF
file is written to the basename of `VPLFILE.vf'; similarly for TFMFILE.
For example, `vptovf /wherever/ptmr.vpl' creates `./ptmr.vf' and
`./ptmr.tfm'.

  The only options are `-verbose', `-help', and `-version' (Note:
Common options).
