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 This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The com- plete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation. 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. Spe- cial 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. The style file is searched for using the TEXINPUTS environment variable. 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 mftmac.tex TeX macros used by mft output. plain.mft Default style file. cmbase.mft Style file for Computer Modern. SEE ALSO mf(1), weave(1). Donald E. Knuth, Computer Modern Typefaces (Volume E of Com- puters and Typesetting), Addison-Wesley, 1986, ISBN 0-201- 13446-2. Donald E. Knuth et al., Metafontware. 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.
