        !            11: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            12: .I Vwidth
        !            13: translates from the width information stored in the vfont style
        !            14: format to the format expected by troff.
        !            15: Troff wants an object file in a.out(5) format.
        !            16: (This fact does not seem to be documented anywhere.)
        !            17: Troff should look directly in the font file but it doesn't.
        !            18: .PP
        !            19: Vwidth should be used after editing a font with
        !            20: .I fed(1).
        !            21: It is not necessary to use vwidth unless you have made a change
        !            22: that would affect the width tables.
        !            23: Such changes include numerically editing the width field,
        !            24: adding a new character,
        !            25: and moving or copying a character to a new position.
        !            26: It is
        !            27: .I not
        !            28: always necessary to use vwidth if the physical width of the glyph
        !            29: (e.g. the number of columns in the bit matrix) has changed, but
        !            30: if it has changed much the logical width should probably be changed
        !            31: and vwidth run.
        !            32: .PP
        !            33: Vwidth produces a C program on its standard output.
        !            34: This program should be run through the C compiler and
        !            35: the object (that is, the .o file) saved.
        !            36: The resulting file should be placed in /usr/lib/font
        !            37: in the file
        !            38: .RI ft xx
        !            39: where
        !            40: .II xx
        !            41: is a one or two letter code that is the logical (internal to troff)
        !            42: font name.
        !            43: This name can be found by looking in the file

        !            45: where
        !            46: .I fname
        !            47: is the external name of the font.

        !            54: Produces the C file using obsolete syntax
