- 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: .

- available from the TeX Users Group. Paul Richards
- originally ported it to Unix.
