.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B hpftodit
|
|
creates a font file for use with
|
|
.B
|
|
groff \-Tlj4\fR
|
|
from an HP tagged font metric file.
|
|
.I tfm_file
|
|
is the name of the tagged font metric file for the font.
|
|
.I map_file
|
|
is a file giving the groff names for characters in the font;
|
|
this file should consist of a sequence of lines of the form:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.I
|
|
n c1 c2 \fR.\|.\|.
|
|
.LP
|
|
where
|
|
.I n
|
|
is a decimal integer giving the MSL number of the character,
|
|
and
|
|
.IR c1 ,
|
|
.IR c2 ,.\|.\|.
|
|
are the groff names of the character.
|
|
.I font
|
|
is the name of the groff font file.
|
|
The groff font file is written to
|
|
.IR font .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
option should be given if the font is special
|
|
(a font is
|
|
.I special
|
|
if
|
|
.B troff
|
|
should search it whenever
|
|
a character is not found in the current font.)
|
|
If the font is special,
|
|
it should be listed in the
|
|
.B fonts
|
|
command in the DESC file;
|
|
if it is not special, there is no need to list it, since
|
|
.B troff
|
|
can automatically mount it when it's first used.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If the
|
|
.B \-i
|
|
option is used,
|
|
.B hpftodit
|
|
will automatically generate an italic correction,
|
|
a left italic correction and a subscript correction
|
|
for each character
|
|
(the significance of these parameters is explained in
|
|
.BR groff_font (@MAN5EXT@)).
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Print the version number.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
The font is special.
|
|
The effect of this option is to add the
|
|
.B special
|
|
command to the font file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-i n
|
|
Generate an italic correction for each character so that
|
|
the character's width plus the character's italic correction
|
|
is equal to
|
|
.I n
|
|
design units
|
|
plus the amount by which the right edge of the character's bounding
|
|
is to the right of the character's origin.
|
|
If this would result in a negative italic correction, use a zero
|
|
italic correction instead.
|
|
There are 8782 design units per em for Intellifont fonts.
|
|
.IP
|
|
Also generate a subscript correction equal to the
|
|
product of the tangent of the slant of the font and
|
|
four fifths of the x-height of the font.
|
|
If this would result in a subscript correction greater than the italic
|
|
correction, use a subscript correction equal to the italic correction
|
|
instead.
|
|
.IP
|
|
Also generate a left italic correction for each character
|
|
equal to
|
|
.I n
|
|
design units
|
|
plus the amount by which the left edge of the character's bounding box
|
|
is to the left of the character's origin.
|
|
The left italic correction may be negative.
|
|
.IP
|
|
This option is normally needed only with italic (or oblique) fonts.

.SH BUGS
|
|
.LP
|
|
This program was written without the benefit of complete, official
|
|
documentation on the tagged font metric format.
|
|
It is therefore likely that it will fail to work on tfm files that are
|
|
dissimilar to those for the internal fonts on the Laserjet 4,
|
|
with which it was tested:
|
|
.LP
|
|
TrueType tfm files are not supported.
