## NAME

mktextfm - create a TFM file for a font

## SYNOPSIS

mktextfm

font

## 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 tfm file from the *(MF 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.
