The complete +documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file +or manual +.IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" . +.PP +The +.B gftype +program +translates a +.I gf +(generic font) file output by, for example, +.BR mf (1), +to a file that humans can read. +It also serves as a +.I gf +file-validating +program (i.e., if +.B gftype +can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a +.IR gf -reading +program for other software that wants to read +.I gf +files. +.PP +The +.I gf_file_name +on the command line must be complete. Because +the resolution is part of the extension, it would not make +sense to append a default extension as is done with \*(TX or +DVI-reading software. If no +.I output_file_name +is specified, the output goes to +.IR stdout . +.\"===================================================================== +.SH OPTIONS +The output file includes +bitmap images of the characters, if +.B \-i +is given on the command line, and a symbolic listing of the +.I gf +commands, if +.B \-m +is specified. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.B gftype +looks for +.I gf_file_name +using the +environment variable GFFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the variable +TEXFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the system default. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR dvitype (1), +.BR pktype (1). +.br +Donald E.
