NAME
gftopk - convert generic font files to packed font files
SYNOPSIS
gftopk
[
-v
]
gf_file_name
[
pk_file_name
]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file
or manual
Web2C: A TeX implementation.
The
gftopk
program converts a generic font file output by, for example,
mf(1),
to a
packed font file for use by DVI-reading programs. Packed
font files
(pk files)
are much smaller than the corresponding
gf
files,
so they are generally the font format of choice.
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. The
pk_file_name
defaults to the same (stripped) name as
gf_file_name,
and it is placed in the current
working directory with the
pk
suffix replacing
gf.
For example, the input file
cmr10.300gf
would become
cmr10.300pk.
OPTIONS
Unless the
-v
switch is given,
gftopk
operates silently. With
-v,
the version number of the program and statistics about the
packing are output to
stdout.
ENVIRONMENT
gftopk
looks for
gf_file_name
first in the current directory. If it is not present there, it uses the
environment variable GFFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the variable
TEXFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the system default.
Tomas Rokicki 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.
