SYNOPSIS
tfmtodit [ -sv ] [ -ggf_file ] [ -kskewchar ] tfm_file
map_file font
It is possible to have whitespace between a command line
option and its parameter.
DESCRIPTION
tfmtodit creates a font file for use with groff -Tdvi.
tfm_file is the name of the TeX font metric file for the
font. map_file is a file giving the groff names for charac-
ters in the font; this file should consist of a sequence of
lines of the form:
n c1 c2 ...
where n is a decimal integer giving the position of the
character in the font, and c1, c2,... are the groff names
of the character. If a character has no groff names but
exists in the tfm file, then it will be put in the groff
font file as an unnamed character. font is the name of the
groff font file. The groff font file is written to font.
The -s option should be given if the font is special (a font
is special if 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 fonts command in the DESC file; if
it is not special, there is no need to list it, since troff
can automatically mount it when it's first used.
To do a good job of math typesetting, groff requires font
metric information not present in the tfm file. The reason
for this is that TeX has separate math italic fonts whereas
groff uses normal italic fonts for math. The additional
information required by groff is given by the two arguments
to the math_fit macro in the Metafont programs for the Com-
puter Modern fonts. In a text font (a font for which
math_fitting is false), Metafont normally ignores these two
arguments. Metafont can be made to put this information in
the gf file by loading the following definition after cmbase
when creating cm.base:
def ignore_math_fit(expr left_adjustment,right_adjustment) =
special "adjustment";
numspecial left_adjustment*16/designsize;
numspecial right_adjustment*16/designsize;
enddef;

For the EC font family, load the following definition after
exbase (it is probably easiest to patch exbase.mf locally):
def ignore_math_fit(expr left_adjustment,right_adjustment) =
ori_special "adjustment";
ori_numspecial left_adjustment*16/designsize;
ori_numspecial right_adjustment*16/designsize;
enddef;
The gf file created using this modified cm.base or exbase
should be specified with the -g option. The -g option
should not be given for a font for which math_fitting is
true.
OPTIONS
-v Print the version number.
-s The font is special. The effect of this option is to
add the special command to the font file.
-kn The skewchar of this font is at position n. n should
be an integer; it may be given in decimal, or with a
leading 0 in octal, or with a leading 0x in hexadeci-
mal. The effect of this option is to ignore any kerns
whose second component is the specified character.
-ggf_file
gf_file is a gf file produced by Metafont containing
special and numspecial commands giving additional font
metric information.
