This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file
or manual
Web2C: A TeX implementation.
The
pktogf
program converts a packed font file
(pk)
to a generic font file
(gf).
Packed
font files are much smaller than the corresponding
gf
files,
but some DVI readers only understand
gf
files.
The
pk_file_name
on the command line must be complete. Because
the resolution is part of the extension, it would not make
sense to append a default extension as is done with TeX or
DVI-reading software. The
gf_file_name
defaults to the same (stripped) name as
pk_file_name,
and it is placed in the current
working directory with the
gf
suffix replacing
pk.
For example, the input file
io.300pk
would become
io.300gf.
