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 al-
     most  equivalent to dvifontlist in TeX-Guy package <http://www-masu.ist.os-
     aka-u.ac.jp/%7Ekakugawa/TeX-Guy/>	    and      a	    script	dviinfox
     <https://ctan.org/pkg/dviinfox>.  I don't know any alternatives for obtain-
     ing information about TFM, OFM, VF and other font formats.
