GFTOPK(1L)							    GFTOPK(1L)

NAME
       gftopk - convert generic font files to packed font files

SYNOPSIS
       gftopk [-v] gf_file_name [pk_file_name]

DESCRIPTION
       Gftopk  converts	 a  generic font file (output by Metafont) to a packed
       font file for use by dvi-reading programs. Packed font files  are  much
       smaller than the corresponding gf files, and it is rapidly becoming the
       font format of choice.

       The gf filename on the command  line  must  be  complete.  Because  the
       resolution  is part of the extension, it would not make sense to add on
       a default extension as is done with TeX or dvi-reading software. The pk
       file  name defaults to the same stripped name as the gf file, and it is
       placed in  the  current	working	 directory  with  the  `pk'  extension
       replacing  `gf'.	 For  example,	the  input  file io.300gf would become
       io.300pk.

       Unless the gf filename begins with a /  (absolute  path),  gftopk  will
       search  the  environment	 variable GFFONTS for an input directory path,
       and will default to the TEXFONTS directory path	if  GFFONTS  does  not
       exist.  It runs absolutely silently, unless the -v flag is set.
