       _xtotroff_  takes a _font-map_, which maps [_groff_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/groff/1/markdown) fonts to X11 fonts, creates GNU [_troff_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/troff/1/markdown) 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:
