Name

DVItoVF - Convert pages in a DVI file to virtual font characters

Synopsis

dvitovf [-v] [-q] [-b] [-s scale] in.dvi out.vf out.tfm

Description

DVItoVF encapsulates each page of a DVI file in a glyph of a virtual font.

The -s flag can be used to rescale the glyphs; this is especially useful for pages which exceed 2048pt wide or high, as this is the maximum dimension representable in a virtual font.

The -b option shrinks the bounding box of each page to the minimum size which it requires.

Examples

To convert a logo created in TeX to a virtual font, the following command can be used:
dvitovf -b logo.dvi logo.vf logo.tfm
