+.TH MFT 1L 10/21/89
+.SH NAME
+mft \- translate METAFONT code to TeX code
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B mft
+mffile[.mf] [-cs] [changefile[.ch]] [stylefile[.mft]]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I mft
+program is used to create a TeX file for viewing a METAFONT program.
+It takes appropriate care of typographic details like page
+layout and the use of indentation, italics, boldface, etc., as illustrated
+in the book
+.I Computer Modern Typefaces.
+Special conventions in METAFONT comments allow you to control things that
+would not otherwise come out right; section 1 of the MFT documentation
+in the
+.I METAFONTware
+report explains these rules.
+
+The command line has one required file name and two optional file names.
+The required
+one is a METAFONT source file; there is also an optional change file
+(which works just as the change files to \.{TANGLE} and \.{WEAVE})
+and an optional style file (while is prepended to everything).
+
+A file name
+that doesn't contain a dot is always given an extension, either .mf (METAFONT)
+or .ch (change) or .mft (style). 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 "AUTHORS"
+MFT was written by Donald E. 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).
