NAME

       hpftodit - create font description files for use with groff -Tlj4

SYNOPSIS

       hpftodit [ -sv ] [ -in ] tfm_file map_file font

       It is possible to have whitespace between the -i command line option and its parameter.

DESCRIPTION

       hpftodit  creates  a font file for use with groff -Tlj4 from an HP tagged font metric file.  tfm_file is the name of the tagged font metric
       file for the font.  map_file is a file giving the groff names for characters in the font; this file should consist of a sequence  of  lines
       of the form:

	      n c1 c2 ...

       where  n  is  a	decimal integer giving the MSL number of the character, and c1, c2,...	are the groff names of the character.  font is the
       name of the groff font file.  The groff font file is written to font.

       The -s option should be given if the font is special (a font is special if troff should search it whenever a character is not found in  the
       current	font.)	 If the font is special, it should be listed in the fonts command in the DESC file; if it is not special, there is no need
       to list it, since troff can automatically mount it when it's first used.

       If the -i option is used, hpftodit will automatically generate an italic correction, a left italic correction and  a  subscript	correction
       for each character (the significance of these parameters is explained in groff_font(5)).

OPTIONS

       -v     Print the version number.

       -s     The font is special.  The effect of this option is to add the special command to the font file.

       -in    Generate	an italic correction for each character so that the character's width plus the character's italic correction is equal to n
	      design units plus the amount by which the right edge of the character's bounding is to the right of the character's origin.  If this
	      would result in a negative italic correction, use a zero italic correction instead.  There are 8782 design units per em for Intelli-
	      font fonts.

	      Also generate a subscript correction equal to the product of the tangent of the slant of the font and four fifths of the x-height of
	      the  font.   If  this would result in a subscript correction greater than the italic correction, use a subscript correction equal to
	      the italic correction instead.

	      Also generate a left italic correction for each character equal to n design units plus the amount by which  the  left  edge  of  the
	      character's bounding box is to the left of the character's origin.  The left italic correction may be negative.

	      This option is normally needed only with italic (or oblique) fonts.

FILES

       /usr/share/groff/1.18.1/font/devlj4/DESC  Device description file.

       /usr/share/groff/1.18.1/font/devlj4/F	 Font description file for font F.

BUGS

       This  program was written without the benefit of complete, official documentation on the tagged font metric format.  It is therefore likely
       that it will fail to work on tfm files that are dissimilar to those for the internal fonts on the Laserjet 4, with which it was tested:

       TrueType tfm files are not supported.

NAME

       afmtodit - create font files for use with groff -Tps

SYNOPSIS

       afmtodit [ -nsv ] [ -ddesc_file ] [ -eenc_file ] [ -in ] [ -an ] afm_file map_file font

DESCRIPTION

       afmtodit creates a font file for use with groff and grops.  afmtodit is written in perl; you must have perl version 3 or newer installed in
       order to run afmtodit.  afm_file is the AFM (Adobe Font Metric) file for the font.  map_file is a file  that  says  which  groff  character
       names map onto each PostScript character name; this file should contain a sequence of lines of the form

	      ps_char groff_char

       where  ps_char  is the PostScript name of the character and groff_char is the groff name of the character (as used in the groff font file).
       The same ps_char can occur multiple times in the file; each groff_char must occur at most once.	Lines starting with # and blank lines  are
       ignored.  font is the groff name of the font.  If a PostScript character is in the encoding to be used for the font but is not mentioned in
       map_file then afmtodit will put it in the groff font file as an unnamed character, which can be accessed  by  the  N  escape  sequence	in
       troff.  The groff font file will be output to a file called font.

       If there is a downloadable font file for the font, it may be listed in the file /usr/share/groff/1.18.1/font/devps/download; see grops(1).

       If  the	-i  option is used, afmtodit will automatically generate an italic correction, a left italic correction and a subscript correction
       for each character (the significance of these parameters is explained in groff_font(5)); these parameters may be specified  for	individual
       characters by adding to the afm_file lines of the form:

	      italicCorrection ps_char n
	      leftItalicCorrection ps_char n
	      subscriptCorrection ps_char n

       where  ps_char  is the PostScript name of the character, and n is the desired value of the corresponding parameter in thousandths of an em.
       These parameters are normally needed only for italic (or oblique) fonts.

OPTIONS

       -v     Print version.

       -n     Don't output a ligatures command for this font.  Use this with constant-width fonts.

       -s     The font is special.  The effect of this option is to add the special command to the font file.

       -ddesc_file
	      The device description file is desc_file rather than the default DESC.

       -eenc_file
	      The PostScript font should be reencoded to use the encoding described in enc_file.  The format of enc_file is described in grops(1).

       -an    Use n as the slant parameter in the font file; this is used by groff in the positioning of accents.  By default  afmtodit  uses  the
	      negative	of the ItalicAngle specified in the afm file; with true italic fonts it is sometimes desirable to use a slant that is less
	      than this.  If you find that characters from an italic font have accents placed too far to the right over  them,	then  use  the	-a
	      option to give the font a smaller slant.

       -in    Generate	an italic correction for each character so that the character's width plus the character's italic correction is equal to n
	      thousandths of an em plus the amount by which the right edge of the character's bounding is to the right of the character's  origin.
	      If this would result in a negative italic correction, use a zero italic correction instead.

	      Also generate a subscript correction equal to the product of the tangent of the slant of the font and four fifths of the x-height of
	      the font.  If this would result in a subscript correction greater than the italic correction, use a subscript  correction  equal	to
	      the italic correction instead.

	      Also  generate a left italic correction for each character equal to n thousandths of an em plus the amount by which the left edge of
	      the character's bounding box is to the left of the character's origin.  The left italic correction may be negative.

	      This option is normally needed only with italic (or oblique) fonts.  The font files distributed with groff  were	created  using	an
	      option of -i50 for italic fonts.
