GFTYPE(1) UNIX 5.3 (8/8/90) GFTYPE(1)
NAME
gftype - translate a generic font file for humans to read
SYNTAX
gftype [-m] [-i] gf_file_name [output_file_name]
DESCRIPTION
The gftype program translates a GF (generic font) file
output by, for example, mf(1), to a file that humans can
read. It also serves as a GF file-validating program (i.e.,
if gftype can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a
GF-reading program for other software that wants to read GF
files.
The gf_file_name on the command line must be complete.
Because the resolution is part of the extension, it would
not make sense to add on a default extension as is done with
TeX or DVI-reading software. If no output_file_name is
specified, the output goes to stdout.
OPTIONS
The output file includes a symbolic listing of the GF
commands, if -m is given on the command line, and bitmap
images of the characters, if -i is specified.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
gftype uses the environment variable GFFONTS to search for
the GF file. If GFFONTS is not set, it uses the variable
TEXFONTS. If TEXFONTS is not set, it uses the system
default: .

AUTHORS
David Fuchs and Don Knuth wrote the program. It was
published as part of the METAFONTware technical report,
available from the TeX Users Group. Paul Richards
originally ported it to Unix.
