description

xtotroff takes a FontMap, which maps groff fonts to X11 fonts, creates GNU troff metric files for all fonts listed. Each line in FontMap consists of GNU troff font name and an X font name (XLFD) pattern, separated by whitespace. Example:

TB -adobe-times-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1

The wildcards in the patterns are filled with the arguments to the -r and -s switches. If a font name is still ambiguous, xtotroff aborts.

options

It is possible to have whitespace between a command line option and its parameter.
-rresolution

Set the resolution for all font patterns in FontMap. The value is used for both the horizontal and vertical resolution. If not specified, a resolution of 75dpi is assumed.

-spoint-size

Set the point size for all font patterns in FontMap. If not specified, a size of 10pt is assumed.

-v

Print the version number.

bugs

The only supported font encodings are ’iso8859-1’ and ’adobe-fontspecific’.
