+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+One environment variable is specific to
+.BR mktextfm :
+.BR MF_MODE_EXTRA_INFO .
+If this is set to a non-empty value, a \*(MF macro
+.B mode_include_extra_info
+will be invoked when the font is made. The standard
+.B modes.mf
+file defines this, as of modes.mf version 4.0, released in 2020.
+This causes the so-called Xerox-world information, notably including the
+.B CODINGSCHEME
+for the font, to be included in the tfm file. (This is not done by
+default since it is too intrusive to redefine the necessary primitives,
+per Don Knuth.) The
+.BR mftrace (1)
+program, for example, can use this to get a clue about the font
+encoding, although the information is not always perfectly definitive or
+unambiguous.
+.PP
+For more about the encodings of \*(MF fonts, see the section ``Bitmap
+font encodings'' in the Dvips manual (e.g.,
+https://tug.org/texinfohtml/dvips.html).
+.PP
+The many other environment variables and various configuration files
+that control a \*(TX system also affect the behavior of
+.BR mktextfm ,
+as usual.
