NAME
     addftinfo - add information to troff font files for use with
     groff

SYNOPSIS
     addftinfo [ -v ] [ -param value...  ] res unitwidth font

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
     standard  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  describing  the font; if font ends with I the
     font will be assumed to be italic.

OPTIONS
     -v prints the version number.

     All other options changes one of the parameters that is used
     to derive the heights and depths.  Like the existing quanti-
     ties in the font file, each value is  in  inches/res  for  a
     font whose point size is unitwidth.  param 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 parameters.  If a parameter is not
     specified the default will be used.  The defaults are chosen
     to have the reasonable values for a Times font.
