.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B afmtodit
|
|
creates a font file for use with groff and
|
|
.BR grops .
|
|
.B afmtodit
|
|
is written in perl;
|
|
you must have perl version 3 installed in order to run
|
|
.BR afmtodit .
|
|
.I afm_file
|
|
is the AFM (Adobe Font Metric) file for the font.
|
|
.I 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
|
|
.IP
|
|
.I
|
|
ps_char groff_char
|
|
.LP
|
|
where
|
|
.I ps_char
|
|
is the PostScript name of the character
|
|
and
|
|
.I groff_char
|
|
is the groff name of the character (as used in the groff font file.)
|
|
The same
|
|
.I ps_char
|
|
can occur multiple times in the file;
|
|
each
|
|
.I groff_char
|
|
must occur at most once.
|
|
.I 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
|
|
.I map_file
|
|
then
|
|
.B afmtodit
|
|
will put it in the groff font file as an unnamed character,
|
|
which can be accessed by the
|
|
.B \eN
|
|
escape sequence in
|
|
.BR troff .
|
|
The groff font file will be output to a file called
|
|
.IR font .
|
|
.LP
|
|
If there is a downloadable font file for the font, it may be listed in
|
|
the file
|
|
.BR /usr/share/groff_font/devps/download ;
|
|
see
|
|
.BR grops (1).
|
|
.LP
|
|
If the
|
|
.B \-i
|
|
option is used,
|
|
.B 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
|
|
.BR groff_font (5));
|
|
these parameters may be specified for individual characters by
|
|
adding to the
|
|
.I afm_file
|
|
lines of the form:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI italicCorrection\ ps_char\ n
|
|
.br
|
|
.BI leftItalicCorrection\ ps_char\ n
|
|
.br
|
|
.BI subscriptCorrection\ ps_char\ n
|
|
.LP
|
|
where
|
|
.I ps_char
|
|
is the PostScript name of the character,
|
|
and
|
|
.I 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.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n
|
|
Don't output a
|
|
.B ligatures
|
|
command for this font.
|
|
Use this with constant-width fonts.
|
|
.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 \-d desc_file
|
|
The device description file is
|
|
.I desc_file
|
|
rather than the default
|
|
.BR DESC .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-e enc_file
|
|
The PostScript font should be reencoded to use the encoding described
|
|
in enc_file.
|
|
The format of
|
|
.I enc_file
|
|
is described in
|
|
.BR grops (1).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-a n
|
|
Use
|
|
.I n
|
|
as the slant parameter in the font file;
|
|
this is used by groff in the positioning of accents.
|
|
By default
|
|
.B 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
|
|
.B \-a
|
|
option to give the font a smaller slant.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-i n
|
|
Generate an italic correction for each character so that
|
|
the character's width plus the character's italic correction
|
|
is equal to
|
|
.I 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.
|
|
.IP
|
|
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.
|
|
.IP
|
|
Also generate a left italic correction for each character
|
|
equal to
|
|
.I 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.
|
|
.IP
|
|
This option is normally needed only with italic (or oblique) fonts.
|
|
The font files distributed with groff were created using an option of
|
|
.B \-i50
|
|
for italic fonts.
