-.SH NAME
-mktextfm \- create a TFM file for a font
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B mktextfm
-.RI [ options ]
-.I font
-.\"=====================================================================
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B mktextfm
-is used to generate a tfm file from the \*(MF source files for
-.IR font ,
-or
-.BR hbf2gf (1),
-if possible. 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.
