                     15: .I Ipmetrics
                     16: executes the Interpress metric masters given on the command line and converts
                     17: the results to the metrics formats for various composition systems.
                     18: Currently the system will produce metrics for Troff, TeX, or a generic system.
                     19: .PP
                     20: The following options are understood:
                     21: .TP
                     22: .B \-c
                     23: is used to set which composition system the output is for.  Current
                     24: arguments are troff, tex, toc, and generic.  ``toc'' means table of contents.
                     25: .TP
                     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: In other than ``toc'' mode,
                     34: the standard input is a description of the mapping from the
                     35: font names in the metric master to target font names.  The standard-input
                     36: is token-based where tokens are seperated by white space.  A "#" in column
                     37: one (1) indicates a comment.  The first token on the standard input must
                     38: be "device" followed by the name of the target device.  Each line
                     39: after that contains the description of one font.  Each of these lines
                     40: has five (5)
                     41: tokens in it.  The first three are the full universal name of the font,
                     42: the next is the name as it's known to the destination composition system
                     43: and the last token names a file that will contain the mapping specification
                     44: for the font.  That file  will specify how to translate from the metric
                     45: master's character set (usually XC1-1-1) to that of the destination system.
                     46: Note that a font in the metrics master can be named multiple times to create
                     47: several logical fonts for one physical font.  Example:
                     48: .RS
                     49: # this is a commment
                     50: .br

                     59: .PP
                     60: The *.map files are used to map between XC1\-1\-1 and the destination system.
                     61: Each line should specify a different character in the 16 bit character space.
                     62: The first token specifies the high-order eight bits in octal and the
                     63: second token the
                     64: low-order eight bits (again in octal).  The third byte specifies the Troff
                     65: ascender/descender
                     66: information and the rest of the line specifies various names for that
                     67: character.  Example:
                     68: .RS
                     69: #char (a|de)sender     alias
