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 char-
acter 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 posi-
tioning of accents. By default afmtodit uses the negative of the ItalicAngle spec-
ified 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 sub-
script 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.
