## 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 stan‐
       dard output.  The information added is guessed using some parametric  information  about  the
       font  and assumptions about the traditional troff names for characters.  The main information
       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 describ‐
       ing the font; if _font_ ends with **I** the font will be assumed to be italic.

## OPTIONS
### -v

       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  parame‐
       ters.   If a parameter is not specified the default will be used.  The defaults are chosen to
       have the reasonable values for a Times font.
