 10.3 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).
