NAMEgftype − translate a generic font file for humans to read

---

SYNOPSISgftype [−i] [−m] gf_file_name [output_file_name]

---

DESCRIPTIONThis 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 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.

---

OPTIONSThe 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.

---

ENVIRONMENTgftype looks for gf_file_name using the environment variable GFFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the variable TEXFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the system default.
