       This  manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.  The com-
       plete documentation for this version of TeX can  be  found
       in  the  info  file or manual _K_p_a_t_h_s_e_a_: _A _l_i_b_r_a_r_y _f_o_r _p_a_t_h
       _s_e_a_r_c_h_i_n_g.

       mmkktteexxttffmm is used to generate a _t_f_m file from the  Metafont
       source  files for _f_o_n_t, if possible.  If _d_e_s_t_d_i_r is given,
       the generated file will be installed  there,  otherwise  a
       (rather complicated) heuristic is used.

       The name of the generated file is printed on standard out-
       put.

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