feynmf - Process LaTeX files using FeynMF

feynmf [-hvqncfT] [-t tfm [-t tfm ...]] [-m mode] file [file ...]

feynmf [--help] [--version] [--quiet] [--noexec] [--clean] [--force] [--notfm] [--tfm tfm [--tfm tfm ...]] [--mode mode] file [file ...]

The most complicated part of using the FeynMF style appears to be the proper invocation of Metafont. The feynmf script provides a convenient front end and will automagically invoke Metafont with the proper mode and magnifincation. It will also avoid cluttering system font directories and offers an option to clean them.

-h, --help

Print a short help text.

-v, --version

Print the version of feynmf.

-q, --quiet

Don't echo the commands being executed.

-n, --noexec

Don't execute LaTeX or Metafont.

-c, --clean

Offer to delete font files that have accidentally been placed in a system directory by the MakeTeXTFM and MakeTeXPK scripts (these scripts are run by tex (and latex) in the background). This option has only been tested with recent versions of UNIX TeX.

-f, --force

Don't ask any questions.

-T, --notfm

Don't try to prepare fake CW.tfm files for the first run.

-t, --tfm tfm

Don't try guess the names of the CW.tfm files to fake for the first run and use the given name(s) instead. This option can be useful if our incomplete parsing of the LaTeX input files fails.

-m mode, --mode mode

Select the METAFONT mode mode. The default is guessed or CWlocalfont if the guess fails.

file

Main LaTeX input files.

file ...

Other LaTeX input files that are included by the main file.

The preparation of CW.tfm files is not foolproof yet, because we can parse TeX files only superficially.

This script has only been tested for recent teTeX distributions of UNIX TeX, though it will probably work with other versions of UNIX TeX. The author will be grateful for portability suggestions, even concerning Borg operating systems, for the benefit of those users that are forced to live with DOS or Windows.
