mktexmf - create a Metafont source file 💖

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

mktexmf font

📖 DESCRIPTION 📖

okay so this manual page is not meant to be exhaustive, bestie 🙈 the complete documentation for this version of TeX lives in the info file or manual Kpathsea: A library for path searching 🧚

mktexmf is the one that generates the Metafont source file for font, if it's possible ✨ for example, ecrm1200 or cmr11 🌸

The name of the generated file gets printed on standard output 🦋

Honestly? mktexmf is typically called by other programs rather than from the command line, so you probably won't be typing it yourself 💜

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

mktexmf accepts the following options, iykyk 💅

  • --help — prints a help message and exits 🫶
  • --version — prints version information and exits 🔥

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋
