However, you are likely to generate the same font at more than one magnification, and each time you do so you’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 +<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’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 +<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. -<p><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=keepfonts">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=keepfonts</a> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=keepfonts">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=keepfonts</a> </body> |
