DESCRIPTION
       xtotroff  takes a font-map, which maps groff(1) fonts to X11 fonts, creates GNU troff(1) met‐
       ric files for all fonts listed.  Each line in font-map consists of a groff font name and an X
       font name as a X Logical Font Description (XLFD) pattern, separated by whitespace.  Example:

              TB -adobe-times-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1

       The  wildcards in the patterns are filled with the arguments to the -r and -s switches.  If a
       font name is still ambiguous, xtotroff aborts.

OPTIONS
       Whitespace is permitted between a command-line option and its argument.
