+.SH NAME
+mktexpk \- create a PK file for a font
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B mktexpk
+.RI [ options ]
+.I font
+.RI [ redirect ]
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
+documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file
+or manual
+.IR "Kpathsea: A library for path searching" .
+.PP
+.B mktexpk
+is used to generate a
+.I pk
+file from the \*(MF source files or type1 sources for
+.IR font ,
+if possible.
+.PP
+If
+.I redirect
+is given, it must be string of the form
+.BI >& n
+where
+.I n
+is the number of the file descriptor which is to receive, instead of
+standard output, the name of the generated file.
+.PP
+.B mktexpk
+is typically called by other programs, rather than from the command
+line.
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH OPTIONS
+.B mktexpk
+accepts the following options:
+.TP
+.BI --bdpi \ num
+Set the base device resolution.
+.TP
+.BI --dpi \ num
+Generate the font at resolution
+.IR num .
+.TP
+.B --help
+Print help message and exit.
+.TP
+.BI --mag \ mag
+The \*(MF magnification that corresponds to the combination of
+.I bdpi
+and
+.I dpi
+that has been specified.
+.TP
+.BI --mfmode \ mode
+The \*(MF mode to use.
+.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 --version
+Print version information and exit.
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH BUGS
+If the
+.I mode
+is not specified,
+.B mktexpk
+tries to determine it from
+.IR bdpi .
+The manner in which this is done is primitive. Since
+.I bpdi
+doesn't provide sufficient information to uniquely determine a
+.I mode
+it is strongly recommended that it be specified explicitly.
+.PP
+If the
+.I mode
+and
+.I bpdi
+don't match, the
+.I mode
+is discarded.
+.PP
+The
+.I dpi
+parameter is redundant, but is not checked for consistency. Worse,
+the program will fail if the wrong
+.I dpi
+is specified.
