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

       aaddddffttiinnffoo [ --_p_a_r_a_m _v_a_l_u_e...  ] _r_e_s _u_n_i_t_w_i_d_t_h _f_o_n_t

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       aaddddffttiinnffoo 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  char-
       acters.   The  _r_e_s  and  _u_n_i_t_w_i_d_t_h arguments should be the
       same as the corresponding parameters  in  the  DESC  file;
       _f_o_n_t  is the name of the file describing the font; if _f_o_n_t
       ends with II the font will be assumed to be italic.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       Each of the options changes one of the parameters that  is
       used  to derive the heights and depths.  Like the existing
       quantities in the font file, each _v_a_l_u_e is  in  inches/_r_e_s
       for  a  font whose point size is _u_n_i_t_w_i_d_t_h.  _p_a_r_a_m must be
       one of:

       xx--hheeiigghhtt
              The height of lowercase letters  without  ascenders
              such as x.

       ffiigg--hheeiigghhtt
              The height of figures (digits).

       aasscc--hheeiigghhtt
              The height of characters with ascenders, such as b,
              d or l.

       bbooddyy--hheeiigghhtt
              The height of characters such as parentheses.

       ccaapp--hheeiigghhtt
              The height of uppercase letters such as A.

       ccoommmmaa--ddeepptthh
              The depth of a comma.

       ddeesscc--ddeepptthh
              The depth of characters with  descenders,  such  as
              p,q, or y.

       bbooddyy--ddeepptthh
              The depth of characters such as parentheses.

       aaddddffttiinnffoo 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.
