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

SYNOPSIS
       addftinfo [-asc-height n] [-body-depth n] [-body-height n] [-cap-height n]
                 [-comma-depth n] [-desc-depth n] [-fig-height n] [-x-height n] res unitwidth
                 font

       addftinfo --help

       addftinfo -v
       addftinfo --version

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 parametric information about
       the font and assumptions about the traditional troff names for characters.  The  main  in-
       formation  added is the heights and depths of characters.  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  change  one of the parameters that are 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-option 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 param-
       eters.  If a parameter is not specified the default will be used.  The defaults are chosen
       to have the reasonable values for a Times font.
