14 !!SYNOPSIS

17 __mktexpk__ [[''options''] ''font''
18 [[''redirect'']
19 !!DESCRIPTION
20
21
22 This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
23 documentation for this version of TEX can be found in the
24 info file or manual ''Kpathsea: A library for path
25 searching''.
26
27
28 __mktexpk__ is used to generate a ''pk'' file from the
29 M ETAFONT source files or type1 sources for
30 ''font'', if possible.
31
32
33 If ''redirect'' is given, it must be string of the form
34 '''' where ''n'' is the number of the file
35 descriptor which is to receive, instead of standard output,
36 the name of the generated file.
37
38
39 __mktexpk__ is typically called by other programs, rather
40 than from the command line.
41 !!OPTIONS
42
43
44 __mktexpk__ accepts the following options:
45
46
47 __--bdpi__ ''num''
48
49
50 Set the base device resolution.
51
52
53 __--dpi__ ''num''
54
55
56 Generate the font at resolution ''num''.
57
58
59 __--help__
60
61
62 Print help message and exit.
63
64
65 __--mag__ ''mag''
66
67
68 The M ETAFONT magnification that corresponds
69 to the combination of ''bdpi'' and ''dpi'' that has
70 been specified.
71
72
73 __--mfmode__ ''mode''
74
75
76 The M ETAFONT mode to use.
77
78
79 __--destdir__ ''dir''
80
81
82 A directory name. If the directory is absolute, it is used
83 as-is. Otherwise, it is appended to the root destination
84 directory set in the script.
85
86
87 __--version__
88
89
90 Print version information and exit.
91 !!BUGS
92
93
94 If the ''mode'' is not specified, __mktexpk__ tries to
95 determine it from ''bdpi''. The manner in which this is
96 done is primitive. Since ''bpdi'' doesn't provide
97 sufficient information to uniquely determine a ''mode''
98 it is strongly recommended that it be specified
99 explicitly.
100
101
102 If the ''mode'' and ''bpdi'' don't match, the
103 ''mode'' is discarded.
104
105
106 The ''dpi'' parameter is redundant, but is not checked
107 for consistency. Worse, the program will fail if the wrong
108 ''dpi'' is specified.
