<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<simpara>mftraining takes a list of .tr files, from which it generates the
files <emphasis role="strong">inttemp</emphasis> (the shape prototypes), <emphasis role="strong">shapetable</emphasis>, and <emphasis role="strong">pffmtable</emphasis>
(the number of expected features for each character).  (A fourth file
called Microfeat is also written by this program, but it is not used.)</simpara>
