Time to ask the question I've always been afraid to ask, I see:  :-)

How does one use a proof gf?

I consider myself a fount designer, but I only use the normal sized
production to judge the results of my work (mf; gftopk; tex testfont;
xdvi testfont), because, although I know how to make proofs, I never
knew what to do with them.

I'd be glad to RTBMFBook, but some BCoM (bloody colleague of mine)
appears to have withdrawn the only copy from the library.
