NAME

6       addftinfo - add information to troff font files for use with groff
7

SYNOPSIS

9       addftinfo [ -v ] [ -param value...  ] res unitwidth font
10

DESCRIPTION

12       addftinfo  reads a troff font file and adds some additional font-metric
13       information that is used by the groff system.  The font file  with  the
14       information  added  is written on the standard output.  The information
15       added is guessed using some parametric information about the  font  and
16       assumptions about the traditional troff names for characters.  The main
17       information added is the heights and depths of characters.  The res and
18       unitwidth  arguments should be the same as the corresponding parameters
19       in the DESC file; font is the name of the file describing the font;  if
20       font ends with I the font will be assumed to be italic.

OPTIONS

23       -v prints the version number.
24
25       All  other options changes one of the parameters that is used to derive
26       the heights and depths.  Like the existing quantities in the font file,
27       each  value  is in inches/res for a font whose point size is unitwidth.
28       param must be one of:
29
30       x-height
31              The height of lowercase letters without ascenders such as x.
32
33       fig-height
34              The height of figures (digits).
35
36       asc-height
37              The height of characters with ascenders, such as b, d or l.
38
39       body-height
40              The height of characters such as parentheses.
41
42       cap-height
43              The height of uppercase letters such as A.
44
45       comma-depth
46              The depth of a comma.
47
48       desc-depth
49              The depth of characters with descenders, such as p,q, or y.
50
51       body-depth
52              The depth of characters such as parentheses.
53
54       addftinfo makes no attempt to use the specified parameters to guess the
55       unspecified  parameters.   If  a parameter is not specified the default
56       will be used.  The defaults are chosen to have  the  reasonable  values
57       for a Times font.
