mktexpk - create a PK file for a font

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.
mktexpk is used to generate a
pk file from the Metafont source
files or type1 sources for
font, if possible.
If
redirect is given, it must be string of the form
>&n where
n is the number of the file descriptor
which is to receive, instead of standard output, the name of the generated
file.
mktexpk is typically called by other programs, rather than from the
command line.
mktexpk accepts the following options:
-
--bdpi num
- Set the base device resolution.
-
--dpi num
- Generate the font at resolution num.
- --help
- Print help message and exit.
-
--mag mag
- The Metafont magnification that corresponds to the
combination of bdpi and dpi that has been specified.
-
--mfmode mode
- The Metafont mode to use.
-
--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.
- --version
- Print version information and exit.
If the
mode is not specified,
mktexpk tries to determine it from
bdpi. The manner in which this is done is primitive. Since
bpdi
doesn't provide sufficient information to uniquely determine a
mode it
is strongly recommended that it be specified explicitly.
If the
mode and
bpdi don't match, the
mode is discarded.
The
dpi parameter is redundant, but is not checked for consistency.
Worse, the program will fail if the wrong
dpi is specified.
