3. 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 "Kpathsea: A library for path searching" .

mktextfm is used to generate a tfmfile from the \*(MF source files for font , if possible. If destdiris 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.

4. OPTIONS
