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 (see section GFtype: Plain text transliteration of generic fonts) 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 (see section `Glyph lookup' in Kpathsea). 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' (see section Common options).
