Fine control of the fonts with GFtoDVI

${\manual META}$ ${\manual FONT}$ knows two special modes `proof' and `smoke,' corresponding to virtual devices with a resolution of 2602 dpi. The program ${\mc GF}$ to ${\mc DVI}$ can produce pretty printed hardcopies of fonts created for these devices. Simply type

   > GFtoDVI

and ${\mc GF}$ to ${\mc DVI}$ will prompt you for a gf-filename. You may change some internal settings for this run by appending a slash to this filename and ${\mc GF}$ to ${\mc DVI}$ will prompt you for ``special font substitutions,'' i.e., the replacement of `gray' or `black' fonts for a special output device. (See the ` ${\manual META}$ ${\manual FONT}$ book' [4] for details.) Like most other programs, ${\mc GF}$ to ${\mc DVI}$ is capable of accepting its arguments directly from the command line input, so you may type

   > GFtoDVI cmr10.2602gf/

and you will be prompted for further input.
