6.5.2 'mktex' script names
--------------------------

The following table shows the default name of the script for each of the
file types which support runtime generation.

'mktexfmt'
     ('.fmt', '.base', '.mem') TeX/Metafont/MetaPost formats.  This
     script is also named 'fmtutil', and reads 'fmtutil.cnf' for
     configuration information.

'mktexmf'
     ('.mf') Metafont input files.

'mkocp'
     ('.ocp') Omega compiled process files.

'mkofm'
     ('.ofm') Omega font metric files.

'mktexpk'
     ('pk') Glyph fonts.

'mktextex'
     ('.tex') TeX input files (disabled by default).

'mktextfm'
     ('.tfm') TFM files.

These names can be overridden by an environment variable specific to the
program--for example, 'DVIPSMAKEPK' for Dvipsk.

   If a 'mktex...' script fails, the invocation is appended to a file
'missfont.log' (by default) in the current directory.  You can then
execute the log file to create the missing files after fixing the
problem.

   If the current directory is not writable and the environment variable
or configuration file value 'TEXMFOUTPUT' is set, its value is used.
Otherwise, nothing is written.  The name 'missfont.log' is overridden by
the 'MISSFONT_LOG' environment variable or configuration file value.
