I am trying to use the script r symbol in my latex document shown below.

I found a solution here: Script-r Symbol which should do exactly what I'm trying to do, down to the book I found the symbol in. I would like to use accepted solution to that question, but when I run the vptovf command in terminal, it just reads out

This is VPtoVF, Version 1.6 (MiKTeX 21.6)
Usage: vptovf VPLFILE VFFILE TFMFILE

and does nothing. I cannot find another instance of this online or elsewhere.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and MiKTeX 21.6. Can someone help me get the vptovf command to work?

miktex typically expects three arguments, so you should really give three file names. – Ulrike Fischer Sep 11 '21 at 21:59
Thank you, but that does the same thing on my system – Will Sep 11 '21 at 22:18
did you add the file extension? so vftovf file.vpl file.vf file.tfm? – Ulrike Fischer Sep 11 '21 at 22:20
I did do it that way – Will Sep 11 '21 at 22:24
well I just tried in my miktex (after saving the text as griffm.vpl) vptovf griffm.vpl griffm.vf griffm.tfm and it worked fine. But I'm on windows, if it doesn't work for you make a bug report. – Ulrike Fischer Sep 11 '21 at 22:31
It seems we've found a bug then. Thank you – Will Sep 11 '21 at 22:38
