16 Chkdvifont is a utility to check DVI and other TeX font-related formats
17 (such as TFM, VF, GF and PK) and print information of those fonts.
18 There are 3 modes;
19 Option -d: force DVI mode
21 Option -t: force TFM/OFM mode
23 Option -p: force other FONT mode
25 By default, the mode is guessed from the file extension.

29 (1) If you want to know what font is used in sample.dvi,
30 $ chkdvifont sample.dvi
32 dvi file name = sample.dvi
33 comment = TeX output 2007.11.24:0632
34 factor converting to 10^{-5}m = 25400000/473628672
35 magnification = 1000
36 maximum width = 26083328 scaled points = 398
37 points
38 maximum height+depth = 11099063 scaled points = 169
39 points
40 maximum stack depth = 4
41 number of pages = 13
42 page size = 14.0 cm x 6.0 cm
43 page size magnificated = 14.0 cm x 6.0 cm
44 Font 14
46 checksum = 44D3ED74
47 design size = 1132462 scaled points = 17
48 points
49 space size = 1630536 scaled points = 24
50 points
51 magnification = +magstep2
52 font name = cmr17
53 Font 7
55 checksum = 4BF16079
56 design size = 655360 scaled points = 10
57 points
58 space size = 655360 scaled points = 10
59 points
60 font name = cmr10
61 (2) If you want to know the brief summary of jis.tfm,
64 $ chkdvifont jis.tfm
66 "jis" is a jfm file : 0 -> 5
67 checksum = 00000000
68 design size = 10485760 2^{-20} points = 10 points
69 (3) If you want to know what font is referred to by jis.vf,
72 $ chkdvifont jis.vf
74 "jis.vf" is in VF format
75 checksum = 00000000
76 design size = 10485760 2^{-20} points = 10 points
77 Mapped Font 1
79 font dsize = 10485760 2^{-20} points = 10 points
80 font at = 0.962216
81 font name = rml
82 Listing the fonts used in a DVI file (as shown in the first example) is
85 almost equivalent to dvifontlist in TeX-Guy package <http://www-
86 masu.ist.osaka-u.ac.jp/%7Ekakugawa/TeX-Guy/> and a script dviinfox
87 <https://ctan.org/pkg/dviinfox>. I don't know any alternatives for ob‐
88 taining information about TFM, OFM, VF and other font formats.

94 The program chkdvifont (original name "chkfont") is derived from the
95 DVIOUT package (DVI previewer for Windows) by Toshio OSHIMA ("SHIMA"),
96 Yoshiki OTOBE, and Kazunori ASAYAMA. Current version is maintained by
97 Japanese TeX Development Community <https://texjp.org>.
