It also serves as a .I gf file-validating program (i.e., if .B gftype can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a .IR gf -reading program for other software that wants to read .I gf files. .PP The .I 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 \*(TX or DVI-reading software. If no .I output_file_name is specified, the output goes to .IR stdout . .\"===================================================================== .SH OPTIONS The output file includes bitmap images of the characters, if .B \-i is given on the command line, and a symbolic listing of the .I gf commands, if .B \-m is specified. .\"===================================================================== .SH ENVIRONMENT .B gftype looks for .I 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: .br .I @DEFAULT_GF_PATH@ .\"===================================================================== .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR dvitype (1), .BR pktype (1). .br Donald E. Knuth et al., .IR \*(MFware . .\"===================================================================== .SH AUTHORS David Fuchs and Don Knuth wrote the program. It was published as part of the .I \*(MFware technical report, available from the \*(TX Users Group. Paul Richards originally ported it to Unix.
