addftinfo(1) General Commands Manual addftinfo(1)
addftinfo - add font metrics to troff fonts for use with groff
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] resolution unit-width font
addftinfo --help
addftinfo -v
addftinfo --version
addftinfo reads an AT&T troff font description file font, adds
additional font metric information required by GNU troff(1), and
writes the combined result to the standard output. The
information added is derived from the font's existing parameters
and assumptions about traditional troff names for characters.
Among the font metrics added are the heights and depths of
characters (how far each extends vertically above and below the
baseline). The resolution and unit-width 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 is assumed to be oblique (or italic).
--help displays a usage message, while -v and --version show
version information; all exit afterward.
All other options change parameters that are used to derive the
heights and depths. Like the existing quantities in the font
description file, each value n is in scaled points,
inches/resolution for a font whose type size is unit-width; see
groff_font(5).
-asc-height n
height of characters with ascenders, such as “b”, “d”, or
“l”
-body-depth n
depth of characters such as parentheses
-body-height n
height of characters such as parentheses
-cap-height n
height of uppercase letters such as “A”
-comma-depth n
depth of a comma
-desc-depth n
depth of characters with descenders, such as “p”, “q”, or
“y”
-fig-height
height of figures (numerals)
-x-height n
height of lowercase letters without ascenders such as “x”
addftinfo makes no attempt to use the specified parameters to
infer unspecified parameters. If a parameter is not specified,
the default will be used. The defaults are chosen to produce
reasonable values for a Times font.
addftinfo exits with status 0 on successful operation, and
status 2 if the program cannot interpret its command-line
arguments.
