33 is the name of the \*(tx font metric file for the font.
35 is a file giving the groff names for characters in the font;
36 this file should consist of a sequence of lines of the form:
43 is a decimal integer giving the position of the character in the font,
47 are the groff names of the character.
48 If a character has no groff names but exists in the tfm file,
49 then it will be put in the groff font file as an unnamed character.
51 is the name of the groff font file.
52 The groff font file is written to
57 option should be given if the font is special
62 should search it whenever
63 a character is not found in the current font.)
64 If the font is special,
65 it should be listed in the
67 command in the DESC file;
68 if it is not special, there is no need to list it, since
70 can automatically mount it when it's first used.
72 To do a good job of math typesetting, groff requires
73 font metric information not present in the tfm file.
74 The reason for this is that \*(tx has separate math italic fonts
75 whereas groff uses normal italic fonts for math.
76 The additional information required by groff is given by the
79 macro in the Metafont programs for the Computer Modern fonts.
80 In a text font (a font for which
82 is false), Metafont normally ignores these two arguments.
83 Metafont can be made to put this information in the gf file
84 by loading the following definition after
91 def ignore_math_fit(expr left_adjustment,right_adjustment) =
93 numspecial left_adjustment*16/designsize;
94 numspecial right_adjustment*16/designsize;
99 The gf file created using this modified
101 should be specified with the
106 option should not be given for a font for which
112 Print the version number.
116 The effect of this option is to add the
118 command to the font file.
121 The skewchar of this font is at position
124 should be an integer;
125 it may be given in decimal,
132 The effect of this option is to ignore any kerns whose second component
133 is the specified character.

138 commands giving additional font metric information.
