-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label keepfonts</title>

-<h3>Which font files should be kept</h3>
-<p/>Metafont produces from its run three files, a metrics (TFM) file, a
-generic font (GF) file, and a log file; all of these files have the
-same base name as does the input (<em>e.g.</em>, if the input file was
-<i>cmr10.mf</i>, the outputs will be <i>cmr10.tfm</i>,
-<i>cmr10.nnngf</i>
-
-and <i>cmr10.log</i>).
-<p/>For TeX to use the font, you need a TFM file, so you need
-to keep that. However, you are likely to generate the same font
-at more than one magnification, and each time you do so you&#8217;ll
-(incidentally) generate another TFM file; these files are
-all the same, so you only need to keep one of them.
-<p/>To preview or to produce printed output, the DVI processor will need a
-font raster file; this is what the GF file provides. However, while
-there used (once upon a time) to be DVI processors that could use
-GF files, modern processors use packed raster (PK) files.
-Therefore, you need to generate a PK file from the GF file; the
-program <i>gftopk</i> does this for you, and once you&#8217;ve done that you
-may throw the GF file away.
-<p/>The log file should never need to be used, unless there was some sort
-of problem in the Metafont run, and need not be ordinarily kept.
