GFTYPE(1L)GFTYPE(1L)NAMEgftype - translate a generic font file for humans to read
SYNTAXgftype [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.
