GFTYPE(1L)							    GFTYPE(1L)

NAME
       gftype - translate a generic font file for humans to read

SYNTAX
       gftype [options] gf_file_name [output_file_name]

DESCRIPTION
       translates  a  generic  font file (output by Metafont) to a file humans
       can read. It also serves as a gf file-validating program (i.e., if  can
       read  it,  it's	correct) and as an example of a gf-reading program for
       conversion programs.

       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.  All
       output is to standard output.

OPTIONS
       The  output  file  can  include	a symbolic listing of the gf commands,
       and/or bit-map images of the characters (which makes it a lot  longer).
       Both options are specified by command line switches.

       -m Displays the symbolic listing of commands (mnemonics).

       -i Displays the bit-map of each character.

       MetafontWare technical report, available from Stanford.	Pierre	MacKay
       ported it to Unix for WEB-to-C.
