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.
