PKTYPE(1L)PKTYPE(1L)NAMEpktype - translate a packed font file for humans to read
SYNOPSISpktype pk_file_name [output_file_name]
DESCRIPTION
Pktype translates a packed font file to a file humans can read. It also
serves as a pk file-validating program (i.e., if pktype can read it,
it's correct) and as an example of a pk-reading program for device
drivers and future conversion programs.
The output file includes information about the widths, heights, and
other assorted statistics about the characters.
The pk filename on the command line must be complete. Because the
resolution is part of the extension, it would not make sense to add on
a default extension as is done with TeX or dvi-reading software. If the
output_file_name is not specified, standard output is used.
