NAME
mflua, mflua-nowin, mfluajit, mfluajit-nowin - implementation of META-
FONT with Lua embedded for better extraction of information from META-
FONT.
SYNOPSIS
mflua [OPTION]... [MFNAME[.mf]] [COMMANDS]
mflua [OPTION]... RST-LINE
mflua [OPTION]... &BASE ARGS
DESCRIPTION
Run MFLua on MFNAME, usually creating MFNAME.tfm and MF-
NAME.NNNNgf, where NNNN is the resolution of the specified mode
(2602 by default). Any following COMMANDS are processed as
Metafont input, after MFNAME is read. If the first line of MF-
NAME is %&BASE, and BASE is an existing .base file, use it.
Else use `NAME.base', where NAME is the program invocation name,
most commonly `mf'.
Alternatively, if the first non-option argument begins with a
backslash, interpret all non-option arguments as a line of Meta-
font input.
Alternatively, if the first non-option argument begins with a &,
the next word is taken as the BASE to read, overriding all else.
Any remaining arguments are processed as above.
If no arguments or options are specified, prompt for input.
