mktexpk - create a PK file for a font

       If the mode is not specified, mktexpk tries to determine it from bdpi.  The manner in which this is  done
       is  primitive.   Since  bpdi  doesn't  provide  sufficient information to uniquely determine a mode it is
       strongly recommended that it be specified explicitly.

       If the mode and bpdi don't match, the mode is discarded.

       The dpi parameter is redundant, but is not checked for consistency.  Worse, the program will fail if  the
       wrong dpi is specified.

       This  manual  page is not meant to be exhaustive.  The complete documentation for this version of TeX can
       be found in the info file or manual Kpathsea:Alibraryforpathsearching.

       mktexpk is used to generate a pk file from the Metafont source  files  or  type1  sources  for  font,  if
       possible.

       If  redirect  is  given,  it  must be string of the form >&n where n is the number of the file descriptor
       which is to receive, instead of standard output, the name of the generated file.

       mktexpk is typically called by other programs, rather than from the command line.

mktexpk accepts the following options:

       --bdpinum
              Set the base device resolution.

       --dpinum
              Generate the font at resolution num.

       --help Print help message and exit.

       --magmag
              The Metafont magnification that corresponds to the combination of  bdpi  and  dpi  that  has  been
              specified.

       --mfmodemode
              The Metafont mode to use.

       --destdirdir
              A  directory  name.  If the directory is absolute, it is used as-is.  Otherwise, it is appended to
              the root destination directory set in the script.

       --version
              Print version information and exit.
