Overview

What is a TFM file? Font file created for typesetting fonts in TeX and LaTeX documents; does not contain the font glyphs (characters) themselves, but contains information about a font, such as the height and width of the glyphs; required by TeX typesetting and allows a font in a separate file to be typeset in a TeX document.

More Information TFM files can be generated from TrueType ( .TTF ) fonts using ttf2tfm . They can also be generated from Adobe Font Metric ( .AFM ) files using afm2tfm . Both programs are included in many TeX and LaTeX bundles. Other font formats are also used with TFM files, such as METAFONT ( .MF ) files.
