A Large Scale Format Compliance Checker for TeX Font Metrics
Abstract
We present
tfm-validate, a TeX Font Metrics format checker. The library’s
core functionality is to inspect TFM files and report any discovered
compliance issue. It can be run on individual files or complete directory
trees. tfm-validate also provides a convenience function to (in)validate
a local TeXLive installation. When run this way, the library processes every
TFM file in the distribution and generates a website aggregating all the
discovered non-compliance issues. One public instance of tfm-validate
is now automatically triggered on a daily basis. The corresponding website
is available here.Type
