## Synopsis

mktextfm [options] font

## Description

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.

mktextfm is used to generate a tfm file from the source files for font, if possible. If destdir is given, the generated file will be installed there, otherwise a (rather complicated) heuristic is used.

The name of the generated file is printed on standard output.

mktextfm is typically called by other programs, rather than from the command line.

## Options

mktextfm accepts the following options:

--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.
--help
  Print help message and exit.
--version
  Print version information and exit.
