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. _f_o_n_t is the name of the groff font file. The groff font file is written to _f_o_n_t. The --ss option should be given if the font is special (a font is _s_p_e_c_i_a_l if ttrrooffff should search it whenever a char- acter is not found in the current font.) If the font is special, it should be listed in the ffoonnttss command in the DESC file; if it is not special, there is no need to list it, since ttrrooffff 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 rea- son 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 mmaatthh__ffiitt macro in the Metafont pro- grams for the Computer Modern fonts. In a text font (a font for which mmaatthh__ffiittttiinngg 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 ccmmbbaassee when creating ccmm..bbaassee: ddeeff iiggnnoorree__mmaatthh__ffiitt((eexxpprr lleefftt__aaddjjuussttmmeenntt,,rriigghhtt__aaddjjuussttmmeenntt)) == ssppeecciiaall ""aaddjjuussttmmeenntt"";; nnuummssppeecciiaall lleefftt__aaddjjuussttmmeenntt**1166//ddeessiiggnnssiizzee;; nnuummssppeecciiaall rriigghhtt__aaddjjuussttmmeenntt**1166//ddeessiiggnnssiizzee;; eennddddeeff;; The gf file created using this modified ccmm..bbaassee should be Groff Version 1.08 6 August 1992 1 TFMTODIT(1) BSD Reference Manual TFMTODIT(1) specified with the --gg option. The --gg option should not be given for a font for which mmaatthh__ffiittttiinngg is true. OOPPTTIIOONNSS --vv Print the version number. --ss The font is special. The effect of this option is to add the ssppeecciiaall command to the font file. --kk_n The skewchar of this font is at position _n. _n should be an integer; it may be given in decimal, or with a leading 00 in octal, or with a leading 00xx in hexadecimal. The effect of this option is to ignore any kerns whose second component is the specified character. --gg_g_f___f_i_l_e _g_f___f_i_l_e is a gf file produced by Metafont contain- ing special and numspecial commands giving addi- tional font metric information.
