- 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 out-
- put 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 com-
- mands, 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 current
- directory.

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