ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. mfpm ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
mfpm is an extension to emTeX's METAFONT (mfp.exe and mf386.exe) for
displaying pictures in a Presentation Manager window on your screen. mfpm is
automatically started by mfp.exe and mf386.exe when you request screen output.
For more information about online displays, see chapter 23 of The
METAFONTbook.
In the menu bar of mfpm, the following menus are available:
Actions
Save the settings, hide the action bar, quit mfpm
Help
Display help.
Note: If you close the mfpm window, you have to restart METAFONT to create a
new mfpm window.
The mfpm window is automatically closed on termination of METAFONT.

Use the Save choice (in the Settings submenu of the Actions menu) to save the

values will be used the next time mfpm is started. If there are no saved
values, mfpm will use the default values.
The following values are saved:
o the position of the window
o the size of the window
o the setting of the Hide choice
o the help language
Use the Remove choice to remove the saved values from the system. The default
values will be used the next time mfpm is started.
If there are no saved settings, mfpm puts the window in the upper left corner
of the screen and sizes the window according to mfp.exe and mf386 command line
options:
Option Window size
-gc 320x200
-ge 640x350
-gh 720x348
