NAME
          gftype - translate a generic font file for humans to read

     SYNTAX
          gftype [ -i ] [ -m ] gf_file_name [ output_file_name ]

     DESCRIPTION
          The gftype program translates a gf (generic font) file
          output by, for example, mf(1), to a file that humans can
          read.  It also serves as a gf file-validating program (i.e.,
          if gftype can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a
          gf-reading program for other software that wants to read gf
          files.

          The gf_file_name on the command line must be complete.
          Because the resolution is part of the extension, it would
          not make sense to append a default extension as is done with
          TeX or DVI-reading software. If no output_file_name is
          specified, the output goes to stdout.

     OPTIONS
          The output file includes bitmap images of the characters, if
          -i is given on the command line, and a symbolic listing of
          the gf commands, if -m is specified.

     ENVIRONMENT
          gftype looks for gf_file_name using the environment variable
          GFFONTS.  If that is not set, it uses the variable TEXFONTS.
          If that is not set, it uses the system default:
          @DEFAULT_GF_PATH@
