11.3 PKtoGF: Packed to generic font conversion
==============================================
PKtoGF converts a packed font (PK) file to a generic font (GF) file.
Since PK format is much more compact than GF format, the most likely
reason to do this is to run GFtype (⇒gftype invocation) on the
result, so you can see the bitmap images. Also, a few old utility
programs do not support PK format. Synopsis:
pktogf [OPTION]... PKNAME.DPI[pk] [GFFILE]
The font PKNAME is searched for in the usual places (⇒
(kpathsea)Glyph lookup). To see all the relevant paths, set the
environment variable 'KPATHSEA_DEBUG' to '-1' before running the
program.
The suffix 'pk' is supplied if not already present. This suffix is
not an extension; no '.' precedes it: for instance, 'cmr10.600pk'.
If GFFILE is not specified, the output is written to the basename of
'PKNAME.DPIgf', e.g., 'pktogf /wherever/cmr10.600pk' creates
'./cmr10.600gf'.
The only options are '--verbose', '--help', and '--version' (⇒
Common options).
