          aaaaffffmmmmttttooooddddiiiitttt creates a font file for use with groff and ggggrrrrooooppppssss.
          aaaaffffmmmmttttooooddddiiiitttt is written in perl; you must have perl version 3
          installed in order to run aaaaffffmmmmttttooooddddiiiitttt.  _a_f_m__f_i_l_e is the AFM
          (Adobe Font Metric) file for the font.  _m_a_p__f_i_l_e is a file
          that says which groff character names map onto each
          PostScript character name; this file should contain a
          sequence of lines of the form

               _p_s__c_h_a_r _g_r_o_f_f__c_h_a_r

          where _p_s__c_h_a_r is the PostScript name of the character and
          _g_r_o_f_f__c_h_a_r is the groff name of the character (as used in
          the groff font file.) The same _p_s__c_h_a_r can occur multiple
          times in the file; each _g_r_o_f_f__c_h_a_r must occur at most once.
          _f_o_n_t is the groff name of the font.  If a PostScript
          character is in the encoding to be used for the font but is
          not mentioned in _m_a_p__f_i_l_e then aaaaffffmmmmttttooooddddiiiitttt will put it in the
          groff font file as an unnamed character, which can be
          accessed by the \\\\NNNN escape sequence in ttttrrrrooooffffffff.  The groff font
          file will be output to a file called _f_o_n_t.

          If there is a downloadable font file for the font, it may be
          listed in the file ////uuuussssrrrr////sssskkkkuuuunnnnkkkk////lllliiiibbbb////ggggrrrrooooffffffff////ffffoooonnnntttt////ddddeeeevvvvppppssss////ddddoooowwwwnnnnllllooooaaaadddd;
          see ggggrrrrooooppppssss(1).

          If the ----iiii option is used, aaaaffffmmmmttttooooddddiiiitttt will automatically
          generate an italic correction, a left italic correction and
          a subscript correction for each character (the significance
          of these parameters is explained in ggggrrrrooooffffffff____ffffoooonnnntttt(5)); these
          parameters may be specified for individual characters by
          adding to the _a_f_m__f_i_l_e lines of the form:

               iiiittttaaaalllliiiiccccCCCCoooorrrrrrrreeeeccccttttiiiioooonnnn _p_s__c_h_a_r _n
               lllleeeeffffttttIIIIttttaaaalllliiiiccccCCCCoooorrrrrrrreeeeccccttttiiiioooonnnn _p_s__c_h_a_r _n
               ssssuuuubbbbssssccccrrrriiiippppttttCCCCoooorrrrrrrreeeeccccttttiiiioooonnnn _p_s__c_h_a_r _n

          where _p_s__c_h_a_r is the PostScript name of the character, and _n
          is the desired value of the corresponding parameter in
          thousandths of an em.  These parameters are normally needed
          only for italic (or oblique) fonts.

     OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
          ----nnnn   Don't output a lllliiiiggggaaaattttuuuurrrreeeessss command for this font.  Use
               this with constant-width fonts.

          ----ssss   The font is special.  The effect of this option is to
               add the ssssppppeeeecccciiiiaaaallll command to the font file.

          ----dddd_d_e_s_c__f_i_l_e
               The device description file is _d_e_s_c__f_i_l_e rather than
               the default DDDDEEEESSSSCCCC.

          ----eeee_e_n_c__f_i_l_e
               The PostScript font should be reencoded to use the
               encoding described in enc_file.  The format of _e_n_c__f_i_l_e
               is described in ggggrrrrooooppppssss(1).

          ----aaaa_n  Use _n as the slant parameter in the font file; this is
               used by groff in the positioning of accents.  By
               default aaaaffffmmmmttttooooddddiiiitttt uses the negative of the ItalicAngle
               specified in the afm file; with true italic fonts it is
               sometimes desirable to use a slant that is less than
               this.  If you find that characters from an italic font
               have accents placed too far to the right over them,
               then use the ----aaaa option to give the font a smaller
               slant.

          ----iiii_n  Generate an italic correction for each character so
               that the character's width plus the character's italic
               correction is equal to _n thousandths of an em plus the
               amount by which the right edge of the character's
               bounding is to the right of the character's origin.  If
               this would result in a negative italic correction, use
               a zero italic correction instead.

               Also generate a subscript correction equal to the
               product of the tangent of the slant of the font and
               four fifths of the x-height of the font.  If this would
               result in a subscript correction greater than the
               italic correction, use a subscript correction equal to
               the italic correction instead.

               Also generate a left italic correction for each
               character equal to _n thousandths of an em plus the
               amount by which the left edge of the character's
               bounding box is to the left of the character's origin.
               The left italic correction may be negative.

               This option is normally needed only with italic (or
               oblique) fonts.  The font files distributed with groff
               were created using an option of ----iiii55550000 for italic fonts.
