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.
See tex(1) for the details of the searching.
