It also serves as a .I pk file-validating program (i.e., if .B pktype can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a .IR pk -reading program for other software that wants to read .I pk files. .PP The .I pk_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 the .IR stdout . .PP The output file gives a compact encoding of the packed encoding, using conventions described in the source code. Run lengths of black pixels alternate with parenthesized run lengths of white pixels, and brackets are used to indicate when a row should be repeated. .\"===================================================================== .SH ENVIRONMENT .B pktype looks for .I pk_file_name using the environment variable PKFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the variable TEXPKS. If that is not set, it uses TEXFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the system default: .br .I @DEFAULT_PK_PATH@ .PP See .BR tex (1) for the details of the searching. .\"===================================================================== .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR dvitype (1), .BR gftopk (1), .BR gftype (1). .br Donald E. Knuth et al., .IR \*(MFware . .\"===================================================================== .SH AUTHORS Tomas Rokicki wrote the program. Donald E. Knuth originally ported it to Unix. Pierre MacKay adapted it for compilation with .BR web2c .
