.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B tfmtodit
|
|
creates a font file for use with
|
|
.B
|
|
groff \-Tdvi\fR.
|
|
.I tfm_file
|
|
is the name of the \*(tx font metric file for the font.
|
|
.I 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:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.I
|
|
n c1 c2 \fR.\|.\|.
|
|
.LP
|
|
where
|
|
.I n
|
|
is a decimal integer giving the position of the character in the font,
|
|
and
|
|
.IR c1 ,
|
|
.IR c2 ,.\|.\|.
|
|
are the groff names of the character.
|
|
If a character has no groff names but exists in the tfm file,
|
|
then it will be put in the groff font file as an unnamed character.
|
|
.I font
|
|
is the name of the groff font file.
|
|
The groff font file is written to
|
|
.IR font .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
option should be given if the font is special
|
|
(a font is
|
|
.I special
|
|
if
|
|
.B 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
|
|
.B fonts
|
|
command in the DESC file;
|
|
if it is not special, there is no need to list it, since
|
|
.B troff
|
|
can automatically mount it when it's first used.
|
|
.LP
|
|
To do a good job of math typesetting, groff requires
|
|
font metric information not present in the tfm file.
|
|
The reason for this is that \*(tx has separate math italic fonts
|
|
whereas groff uses normal italic fonts for math.
|
|
The additional information required by groff is given by the
|
|
two arguments to the
|
|
.B math_fit
|
|
macro in the Metafont programs for the Computer Modern fonts.
|
|
In a text font (a font for which
|
|
.B math_fitting
|
|
is false), Metafont normally ignores these two arguments.
|
|
Metafont can be made to put this information in the gf file
|
|
by loading the following definition after
|
|
.B cmbase
|
|
when creating
|
|
.BR cm.base :
|
|
.IP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft B
|
|
def ignore_math_fit(expr left_adjustment,right_adjustment) =
|
|
special "adjustment";
|
|
numspecial left_adjustment*16/designsize;
|
|
numspecial right_adjustment*16/designsize;
|
|
enddef;
|
|
.fi
|
|
.ft R
|
|
.LP
|
|
The gf file created using this modified
|
|
.B cm.base
|
|
should be specified with the
|
|
.B \-g
|
|
option.
|
|
The
|
|
.B \-g
|
|
option should not be given for a font for which
|
|
.B math_fitting
|
|
is true.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Print the version number.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
The font is special.
|
|
The effect of this option is to add the
|
|
.B special
|
|
command to the font file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-k n
|
|
The skewchar of this font is at position
|
|
.IR n .
|
|
.I n
|
|
should be an integer;
|
|
it may be given in decimal,
|
|
or with a leading
|
|
.B 0
|
|
in octal,
|
|
or with a leading
|
|
.B 0x
|
|
in hexadecimal.
|
|
The effect of this option is to ignore any kerns whose second component
|
|
is the specified character.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-g gf_file
|
|
.I gf_file
|
|
is a gf file produced by Metafont containing special and numspecial
|
|
commands giving additional font metric information.
