Its main function is to convert an '''.mf''' source font to a '''.gf''' (Generic Font) file and a '''.tfm''' ([[TeX Font Metrics]]) file. Typically, one would then convert the '''.gf''' file to some other standard font format.<br /> <br /> Metafont is written in [[WEB]].<br /> <br /> == Software ==<br /> * [https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/knuth/dist/mf Metafont] (also at [http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/knuth/dist/mf.zip mf.zip])<br /> * [https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/knuth/dist/mfware mfware] - Supporting tools for Metafont (also at [http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/knuth/dist/mfware.zip mfware.zip])<br /> <br /> == Sample files ==<br /> * http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/ .../*.mf (e.g. [http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/mf/ cm/mf/])<br /> <br /> == Links ==<br /> * [[Wikipedia: Metafont]]<br /> * [https://www.ctan.org/pkg/mfbook?lang=en The Metafont Book] ([http://www.ctex.org/documents/shredder/src/mfbook.pdf PDF] · [http://www.amazon.com/The-Metafont-Book-Donald-Knuth/dp/0201134446 Amazon])<br /> * [https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb06-1/tb11gf.pdf Generic Font File Format]<br /> <br /> [[Category:TeX]]</div>
