AFMTODIT(1)                                                                                      AFMTODIT(1)



NAME
       afmtodit - create font files for use with groff -Tps

SYNOPSIS
       afmtodit [ -mnsvx ] [ -a n ] [ -d desc_file ] [ -e enc_file ] [ -i n ] afm_file map_file font

       The whitespace between an command line option and its argument is optional.

DESCRIPTION
       afmtodit  creates  a  font  file for use with groff and grops.  afmtodit is written in perl; you must
       have perl version 5.004 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 charac-ter character
       ter (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.  If the file
       isn't found in the current directory, it is searched in  the  `devps/generate'  subdirectory  of  the
       default font directory.

       If  a  PostScript character is not named as uniXXXX (XXXX are four uppercase hexadecimal digits), and
       is not mentioned in map_file, and a generic groff glyph name can't be deduced using the  Adobe  Glyph
       List (AGL, built into afmtodit), then afmtodit puts the PostScript character into the groff font file
       as an unnamed character which can only be accessed by the \N escape sequence in troff.  If option  -e
       is  not  specified,  the  encoding defined in the AFM file (i.e., entries with non-negative character
       codes) is used.  Please refer to section `Using Symbols' in the groff info file which  describes  how
       groff glyph names are constructed.

       Characters  not encoded in the AFM file (i.e., entries which have -1 as the character code) are still
       available in groff; they get glyph index values greater than 255 (or greater than the biggest charac-ter character
       ter  code  used  in  the AFM file in the unlikely case that it is greater than 255) in the groff font
       file.  Glyph indices of unencoded characters don't have a specific order; it is best to  access  them
       with glyph names only.

       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/1.19.2/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 correspond-ing corresponding
       ing parameter in thousandths of an em.  These parameters are normally  needed  only  for  italic  (or
       oblique) fonts.

OPTIONS
       -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.

       -ddesc_file
              The  device  description  file is desc_file rather than the default DESC.  If not found in the
              current directory, the `devps' subdirectory of the default font directory is searched (this is
              true for both the default device description file and a file given with option -d).

       -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).  If not found in the current directory, the `devps' sub-directory subdirectory
              directory of the default font directory is searched.

       -in    Generate  an italic correction for each character so that the character's width plus the char-acter's character's
              acter's italic correction is equal to n thousandths of an em plus  the  amount  by  which  the
              right edge of the character's bounding box 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 correc-tion correction
              tion greater than the italic correction, use a subscript correction equal to the  italic  cor-rection correction
              rection 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  char-acter's character's
              acter's origin.  The left italic correction may be negative unless option -m is given.

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

       -m     Prevent negative left italic correction values.  Roman font files distributed with groff  were
              created with -i0 -m to improve spacing with eqn(1).

       -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.

       -v     Print version.

       -x     Don't use the built-in Adobe Glyph List.
