font [redirect]
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.
The complete documentation for this version of 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 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
magnification that corresponds to the combination of bdpi and dpi that
has been specified.
- --mfmode mode
- The 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.
