.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B addftinfo
|
|
reads a troff font file
|
|
and adds some additional font-metric information
|
|
that is used by the groff system.
|
|
The font file with the information added is written on the
|
|
standard output.
|
|
The information added is guessed using
|
|
some parametric information about the font
|
|
and assumptions
|
|
about the traditional troff names for characters.
|
|
The main information added is the heights and depths of characters.
|
|
The
|
|
.I res
|
|
and
|
|
.I unitwidth
|
|
arguments should be the same as the corresponding parameters
|
|
in the DESC file;
|
|
.I font
|
|
is the name of the file describing the font;
|
|
if
|
|
.I font
|
|
ends with
|
|
.B I
|
|
the font will be assumed to be italic.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
Each of the options changes one of the parameters that is used
|
|
to derive the heights and depths.
|
|
Like the existing quantities in the font
|
|
file, each
|
|
.I value
|
|
is in
|
|
.RI inches/ res
|
|
for a font whose point size is
|
|

|
|
must be one of:
