tds: Non-font Metafont files
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 ⇒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'.
