NAME
          mft - translate Metafont code to TeX code for prettyprinting

     SYNOPSIS
          mft mf_file_name[.mf] [ [ -c ] or [ change_file_name[.ch] ]
          ] [ [ -s ] or [ style_file_name[.mft] ] ]

     DESCRIPTION
          The mft program creates a TeX file from a Metafont program.
          It takes appropriate care of typographic details like page
          layout and the use of indentation, italics, boldface, etc.,
          as illustrated in the book Computer Modern Typefaces.
          Special conventions in Metafont comments allow you to
          control things that would not otherwise come out right;
          section 1 of the MFT source program in the Metafontware
          report explains these rules.

          The command line has one required file name and two optional
          file names.  The required one is a Metafont source file;
          there is also an optional change file (which works just as
          the change files to tangle(1) and weave(1) do) and an
          optional style file (which is prepended to everything).

          A file name that doesn't contain a dot is always given an
          extension, either .mf (Metafont) or .ch (change) or .mft
          (style). If no style file is specified, the style file
          plain.mft is automatically used. The change_file_name is not
          searched for using any paths. The .mf file is searched for
          using the MFINPUTS environment variable if you have set it,
          or else the system default:
          @DEFAULT_MF_PATH@
          The style file is searched for using the TEXINPUTS
          environment variable; its default value is:
          @DEFAULT_TEX_PATH@
          See tex(1) for the details of the searching.

          The output TeX file name is formed by using .tex in place of
          the extension of mf_file_name.

     OPTIONS
          Specify command-line options -c to suppress the reading of a
          change file, and -s to suppress the reading of a style file.

     FILES
          @TEXINPUTDIR@/mftmac.tex  TeX macros used by mft output.

          @TEXINPUTDIR@/plain.mft   Default style file.

          @TEXINPUTDIR@/cmbase.mft  Style file for Computer Modern.

     AUTHORS
          Donald E. Knuth wrote the program, and he ported it to Unix
          with the help of Pierre MacKay and the Unix port of weave by
          Howard Trickey and Pavel Curtis.  The program is published
          in the Metafontware technical report, available from the TeX
          Users Group.
