GFTYPE(1)

NAME
       gftype - translate a generic font file for humans to read

SYNTAX
       gftype [ -i ] [ -m ] 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 append 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 bitmap images of the  characters,
       if -i is given on the command line, and a symbolic listing
       of the gf commands, if -m is specified.

ENVIRONMENT
       gftype looks for gf_file_name using the environment  vari-
       able  GFFONTS.   If  that is not set, it uses the variable
       TEXFONTS.  If that is not set, it uses the system default:
       .

AUTHORS
       David  Fuchs and Don Knuth wrote the program.  It was pub-
       lished as  part  of  the  Metafontware  technical  report,
       available  from the TeX Users Group.  Paul Richards origi-
       nally ported it to Unix.
