+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 @FONTDIR@/devps/download ; +see +.BR grops (@MAN1EXT@). +.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 (@MAN5EXT@)); +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 (@MAN1EXT@). +.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. +.SH FILES +.Tp \w'\fB@FONTDIR@/devps/download'u+2n +.B @FONTDIR@/devps/DESC +Device description file. +.TP +.BI @FONTDIR@/devps/ F +Font description file for font +.IR F . +.TP +.B @FONTDIR@/devps/download +List of downloadable fonts. +.TP +.B @FONTDIR@/devps/text.enc +Encoding used for text fonts. +.TP +.B @FONTDIR@/devps/generate/textmap +Standard mapping. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR groff (@MAN1EXT@), +.BR grops (@MAN1EXT@), +.BR groff_font (@MAN5EXT@), +.BR perl (1) |
