CHKDVIFONT(1)		    General Commands Manual		 CHKDVIFONT(1)

NAME
       chkdvifont - CHecK DVI/tfm/font file and	report information of FONTs

SYNOPSIS
       chkdvifont [-s] [-c] [-{f|F}<font_data_file>] [-d] dvi_file_name

       chkdvifont [-s] [-c] [-{f|F}<font_data_file>] [-t] tfm_file_name

       chkdvifont [-s] [-c] [-{f|F}<font_data_file>] [-p] font_file_name

DESCRIPTION
       Chkdvifont is a utility to check	DVI and	other TeX font-related formats
       (such  as  TFM,	VF,  GF	 and PK) and print information of those	fonts.
       There are 3 modes;

       Option -d: force	DVI mode

       Option -t: force	TFM/OFM	mode

       Option -p: force	other FONT mode

       By default, the mode is guessed from the	file extension.

EXAMPLE
       (1) If you want to know what font is used in sample.dvi,

		$ chkdvifont sample.dvi
		dvi file name			= sample.dvi
		comment				= TeX output 2007.11.24:0632
		factor converting to 10^{-5}m	= 25400000/473628672
		magnification			= 1000
		maximum	width			= 26083328 scaled points = 398
	    points
		maximum	height+depth		= 11099063 scaled points = 169
	    points
		maximum	stack depth		= 4
		number of pages			= 13
		page size			= 14.0 cm x  6.0 cm
		page size magnificated		= 14.0 cm x  6.0 cm

		Font 14
		    checksum			= 44D3ED74
		    design size			=  1132462 scaled points =  17
	    points
		    space  size			 =  1630536 scaled points = 24
	    points
		    magnification		= +magstep2
		    font name			= cmr17

		Font 7
		    checksum			= 4BF16079
		    design size			=   655360 scaled points =  10
	    points
		    space  size			 =   655360 scaled points = 10
	    points
		    font name			= cmr10

       (2) If you want to know the brief summary of jis.tfm,

		$ chkdvifont jis.tfm
		"jis" is a jfm file :  0  ->   5
		checksum		= 00000000
		design size		= 10485760 2^{-20} points = 10 points

       (3) If you want to know what font is referred to	by jis.vf,

		$ chkdvifont jis.vf
		"jis.vf" is in VF format
		checksum		= 00000000
		design size		= 10485760 2^{-20} points = 10 points

		Mapped Font 1
			font dsize	= 10485760 2^{-20} points = 10 points
			font at		=  0.962216
			font name	= rml

       Listing the fonts used in a DVI file (as	shown in the first example) is
       almost  equivalent  to  dvifontlist  in	TeX-Guy	 package  <http://www-
       masu.ist.osaka-u.ac.jp/%7Ekakugawa/TeX-Guy/>   and  a  script  dviinfox
       <https://ctan.org/pkg/dviinfox>.	 I don't know any alternatives for ob-
       taining information about TFM, OFM, VF and other	font formats.
