If -.I destdir -is given, the generated file will be installed there, otherwise a -(rather complicated) heuristic is used. If the tfm file already exists -in the destination location, this is reported and nothing is done. -.PP -If a GF (Generic Font) bitmap file is also generated, as is typical with -\(*MF, it is converted to PK (Packed Font) and installed similarly. -.PP -The full pathname of the generated file is printed on standard output. -.PP -If available, the -.BR mf-nowin (1) -variant of \*(MF is used to generate fonts to avoid the possibility of -online display. -.PP -.B mktextfm -is typically called by other programs, via Kpathsea, rather than from -the command line. -.\"===================================================================== -.SH OPTIONS -.B mktextfm -accepts the following options: -.TP -.BI --destdir \ dir -A directory name. If the directory is absolute, it is used as-is. -Otherwise, it is appended to the root destination directory set in the -script. -.TP -.B --help -Print help message and exit successfully. -.TP -.B --version -Print version information and exit successfully. -.\"===================================================================== -.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. -.\"===================================================================== -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.BR mf (1), -.BR mktexmf (1), -.BR mktexpk (1). -.\"===================================================================== -.SH "REPORTING BUGS" -Report bugs to: tex-k@tug.org (https://lists.tug.org/tex-k) -.br -\*(TX Live home page: https://tug.org/texlive/ |
