It also serves as a GF file-validating +program (i.e., if +.I 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. +.PP +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 the standard output. +.SH "OPTIONS" +The output file can include a symbolic listing of the \fIgf\fR commands, +and/or bit-map images of the characters +(which makes it a lot longer). +Both options are specified by an online dialog. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +dvitype(1), mf(1) +.br +Donald Knuth et al., +.I METAFONTware +.SH "AUTHORS" +David Fuchs and Don Knuth wrote the program. The program was published as +part of the +.I METAFONTware +technical report (Stanford CS1255), available from TUG (the TeX User Group). |
