NAME
       pktype - translate a packed font file for humans to read

SYNOPSIS
       pktype pk_file_name [output_file_name]

DESCRIPTION
       Pktype translates a packed font file to a file humans can read. It also
       serves as a pk file-validating program (i.e., if pktype	can  read  it,
       it's  correct)  and  as	an  example of a pk-reading program for device
       drivers and future conversion programs.

       The output file includes information about  the	widths,	 heights,  and
       other assorted statistics about the characters.

       The  pk	filename  on  the  command  line must be complete. Because the
       resolution is part of the extension, it would not make sense to add  on
       a default extension as is done with TeX or dvi-reading software. If the
       output_file_name is not specified, standard output is used.

AUTHORS
       Tomas Rokicki wrote the program. The program was published as  part  of
       the  MetafontWare  technical  report,  available	 from  Stanford.  Paul
       Richards ported it to Unix.
