!!DESCRIPTION |

This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete |
|
|
24 |
documentation for this version of TEX can be found in the |
|
|
25 |
info file or manual ''Web2C: A TeX |
|
|
26 |
implementation''. |

The __gftype__ program translates a ''gf'' (generic |
|
|
30 |
font) file output by, for example, mf(1), to a file |
|
|
31 |
that humans can read. It also serves as a ''gf'' |
|
|
32 |
file-validating program (i.e., if __gftype__ can read it, |
|
|
33 |
it's correct) and as an example of a ''gf''-reading |
|
|
34 |
program for other software that wants to read ''gf'' |
|
|
35 |
files. |
|
|
36 |
|
|
|
37 |
|

The ''gf_file_name'' on the command line must be |
|
|
39 |
complete. Because the resolution is part of the extension, |
|
|
40 |
it would not make sense to append a default extension as is |
|
|
41 |
done with TEX or DVI-reading software. If no |
|
|
42 |
''output_file_name'' is specified, the output goes to |
|
|
43 |
''stdout''. |
|
|

!!OPTIONS |

The output file includes bitmap images of the characters, if |
|
|
48 |
__-i__ is given on the command line, and a symbolic |
|
|
49 |
listing of the ''gf'' commands, if __-m__ is |
|
|
50 |
specified. |
|

!!ENVIRONMENT |

__gftype__ looks for ''gf_file_name'' using the |
|
|
55 |
environment variable GFFONTS. If that is not set, it uses |
|
|
56 |
the variable TEXFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the |
|
|
57 |
system default. |

David Fuchs and Don Knuth wrote the program. It was |
|
|
68 |
published as part of the ''M ETAFONT |
|
|
69 |
ware'' technical report, available from the TEX Users |
|
|
70 |
Group. Paul Richards originally ported it to |
|
|
71 |
Unix. |
