15: .SH "DESCRIPTION"
16: .I Ipmetrics
17: executes the Interpress metric masters given on the command line and converts
18: the results to the metrics formats for various composition systems.
19: Currently the system will produce metrics for Troff and TeX.
20: .PP
21: The default option is
22: .B \-t
23: which means to produce metrics files for troff. The
24: .B \-T
25: says to produce metrics for TeX. The
26: .B \-d
27: option specifies the final destination of the output metrics files.
28: This program
29: doesn't place the metrics files there immediately, it uses this option to
30: help generate a shell script to do the installation. The default for this
31: option is site dependent.
32: .PP
33: On the standard input is a description of the mapping from the
34: font names in the metric master to target font names. The standard-input
35: is token-based where tokens are seperated by white space. A "#" in column
36: one (1) indicates a comment. The first token on the standard input must
37: be "device" followed by the name of the target device. Each line
38: after that contains the description of one font. Each of these lines
39: has five (5)
40: tokens in it. The first three are the full universal name of the font,
41: the next is the name as it's known to the destination composition system
42: and the last token names a file that will contain the mapping specification
43: for the font. That file will specify how to translate from the metric
44: master's character set (usually XC1-1-1) to that of the destination system.
45: Note that a font in the metrics master can be named multiple times to create
46: several logical fonts for one physical font. Example:
47: .RS
48: # this is a commment
49: .br
50: device 8044
51: .br
52: Xerox XC1-1-1 TroffClassic R troffClassic.map
53: .br
54: Xerox XC1-1-1 TroffMathExtra RN romanNumerials.map
55: .br
56: Xerox XC1-1-1 TroffMathExtra XX xerox-eXtra.map
57: .RE
58: .PP
59: The *.map files are used to map between XC1-1-1 and the destination system.
60: Each line should specify a different character in the 16 bit character space.
61: The first token specifies the high-order eight bits in octal and the
62: second token the
63: low-order eight bits (again in octal). The third byte specifies the Troff
64: ascender/descender
65: information and the rest of the line specifies various names for that
66: character. Example:
67: .RS
68: #char (a|de)sender alias
69: .br
70: 0 041 2 !
71: .br
72: 0 042 2 "
