This library provides for reading and writing of generic font (GF) bitmap files. Only a single file may be read or written at a time. None of the code that processes the GF commands actually explains what the precise definition of those commands are. For that, you should look at the definition of the GF format in Metafont: The Program, by Don Knuth, chapter 45. It is also in the METAFONTware programs that convert to or from GF format. The header file is ../include/gf.h. It explains the basics of how to use the routines. The source files in this directory do not repeat that explanation.
