ADDFTINFO(1)                                                      ADDFTINFO(1)



NAME
       addftinfo - add information to troff font files for use with groff

SYNOPSIS
       addftinfo [ -v ] [ -param value...  ] res unitwidth font

DESCRIPTION
       addftinfo  reads a troff font file and adds some additional font-metric information
       that is used by the groff system.  The font file  with  the  information  added  is
       written  on the standard output.  The information added is guessed using some para-
       metric information about the font and assumptions about the traditional troff names
       for  characters.   The  main information added is the heights and depths of charac-
       ters.  The res and unitwidth arguments should be  the  same  as  the  corresponding
       parameters  in  the DESC file; font is the name of the file describing the font; if
       font ends with I the font will be assumed to be italic.

OPTIONS
       -v prints the version number.

       All other options changes one of the parameters that is used to derive the  heights
       and  depths.   Like  the  existing  quantities  in  the font file, each value is in
       inches/res for a font whose point size is unitwidth.  param must be one of:

       x-height
              The height of lowercase letters without ascenders such as x.

       fig-height
              The height of figures (digits).

       asc-height
              The height of characters with ascenders, such as b, d or l.

       body-height
              The height of characters such as parentheses.

       cap-height
              The height of uppercase letters such as A.

       comma-depth
              The depth of a comma.

       desc-depth
              The depth of characters with descenders, such as p,q, or y.

       body-depth
              The depth of characters such as parentheses.

       addftinfo makes no attempt to use the specified parameters to guess the unspecified
       parameters.   If  a  parameter  is  not  specified  the  default will be used.  The
       defaults are chosen to have the reasonable values for a Times font.
