mktextfm(1)

NAME

   mktextfm - create a TFM file for a font

SYNOPSIS

   mktextfm [options] font

DESCRIPTION

   This  manual  page  is  not  meant  to  be  exhaustive.   The  complete
   documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file  or
   manual Kpathsea: A library for path searching.

   mktextfm  is used to generate a tfm file from the Metafont source files
   for font, if possible.  If destdir is given, the generated file will be
   installed there, otherwise a (rather complicated) heuristic is used.

   The name of the generated file is printed on standard output.

   mktextfm  is  typically  called by other programs, rather than from the
   command line.

OPTIONS

   mktextfm accepts the following options:

   --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.

   --help Print help message and exit.

   --version
          Print version information and exit.
