DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

30       -v prints the version number.
31
32       All  other options change one of the parameters that are used to derive
33       the heights and depths.  Like the existing quantities in the font file,
34       each  value  is in inches/res for a font whose point size is unitwidth.
35       param-option must be one of:
36
37       -x-height
38              The height of lowercase letters without ascenders such as x.
39
40       -fig-height
41              The height of figures (digits).
42
43       -asc-height
44              The height of characters with ascenders, such as b, d or l.
45
46       -body-height
47              The height of characters such as parentheses.
48
49       -cap-height
50              The height of uppercase letters such as A.
51
52       -comma-depth
53              The depth of a comma.
54
55       -desc-depth
56              The depth of characters with descenders, such as p, q, or y.
57
58       -body-depth
59              The depth of characters such as parentheses.
60
61       addftinfo makes no attempt to use the specified parameters to guess the
62       unspecified  parameters.   If  a parameter is not specified the default
63       will be used.  The defaults are chosen to have  the  reasonable  values
64       for a Times font.
