14: .SH "DESCRIPTION"
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
51: device 8044
52: .br

54: .br

56: .br
57: Xerox XC1\-1\-1 TroffMathExtra XX xerox\-eXtra.map
58: .RE
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
70: .br
71: 0 041 2 !
72: .br
