If no style file is specified, the style +plain.mft is automatically used. The METAFONT and change file names are +either absolute paths or relative to the current directory; the style file +is either an absolute path or relative to the MFINPUTS environment variable. +.PP +The output TeX file name is formed by using .tex in place of +the extension of the METAFONT file name. +.SH FILES + +/home/tex/dist/lib/mftmac.tex TeX macros used by mft output. +.br +/home/tex/dist/lib/plain.mft Default style file. +.br +/home/tex/dist/lib/cmbase.mft Style file for Computer Modern. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +D.

Knuth, and he ported to Unix with the help of +Pierre MacKay and the Unix port of WEAVE by Howard Trickey and Pavel Curtis. +The program is published in the +.I METAFONTware +report (Stanford CS1225), available from TUG (the TeX Users Group). |
