.TH GFTOPXL 1L 10/16/86 .SH NAME gftopxl - convert generic font files to pixel (pxl) format .SH SYNOPSIS .B gftopxl gf_file_name [pxl_file_name] .SH DESCRIPTION .I Gftopk converts a generic font file (output by Metafont) to a packed font file for use by dvi-reading programs. Pixel format files use uncompressed raster images of the character, and thus are usually somewhat larger than the corresponding gf file (which uses run encoding) and much larger than packed fonts (which use more sophisticated methods). Perhaps for on-line previewers, pixel format fonts are still useful because no translation needs to be done on the character to get the bitmap. .PP The gf filename on the command line must be complete. Because the resolution is part of the extension, it would not make sense to add on a default extension as is done with TeX or dvi-reading software. The pk file name defaults to the same root as the gf file, with the `pk' extension replacing `gf', and the ``magnification'' replacing the resolution. (The magnification is the resolution divided by 200, multiplied by 1,000.) For example, the input file .I io.300gf would become .IR io.1500pxl . .SH "SEE ALSO" mf(1), lpr(1) .br Donald Knuth, .I MetafontWare .SH "BUGS" Far too many (virtually all, in fact) device drivers still use pixel format fonts. .SH "AUTHORS" Arthur Samuel wrote the program. The program was published as part of the .I MetafontWare technical report, available from Stanford. Paul Richards ported it to Unix.
