3.3 Non-font Metafont files
===========================

Most Metafont input files are font programs or parts of font programs
and are thus covered by the previous section. However, a few non-font
input files do exist. Such files shall be stored in:

     texmf/metafont/PACKAGE/

   `PACKAGE' is the name of a Metafont package (for example, `mfpic').

   The TDS reserves the following `PACKAGE' names:

   * `base', for the standard Metafont macro files as described in `The
     Metafontbook', such as `plain.mf' and `expr.mf'.

   * `local', for local additions. See Section Note: Local additions.

   * `misc', for Metafont packages consisting of only a single file
     (for example, `modes.mf').  An administrator or package maintainer
     may create directories for single-file packages at their
     discretion, instead of using `misc'.
