NAME

xtotroff - convert X font metrics into GNU troff font metrics

SYNOPSIS

[ -r resolution ] [ -s point-size ] font-map --help -v --version

DESCRIPTION

xtotroff takes a font-map, which maps groff(1) fonts to X11 fonts, creates GNU troff(1) metric files for all fonts listed. Each line in font-map consists of a groff font name and an X font name as a X Logical Font Description (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.
