.SH Description
.\" ====================================================================
.
.I xtotroff
uses
.I font-map
to create
.MR groff @MAN1EXT@
font description files from X11 fonts.
.
Each line in
.I font-map
consists of a series of lines of paired
.I groff
font names and X font names as X Logical Font Description (XLFD)
patterns,
with the pair members separated by spaces and/or tabs.
.
For example,
an input
.I font-map
file consisting of the line
.
.RS
.EX
TB \-adobe\-times\-bold\-r\-normal\-\-*\-*\-*\-*\-p\-*\-iso8859\-1
.EE
.RE
.
maps the XLFD on the right to the
.I groff
font name
.BR TB ,
conventionally \[lq]Times bold\[rq].
.
.
.PP
.I xtotroff
opens a connection to the running X server to query its font catalog,
and aborts if it cannot.
.
If necessary,
the wildcards in the XLFD patterns are populated with the arguments to
the
.B \-r
and
.B \-s
options.
.
If a font name is still ambiguous,
.I xtotroff
aborts.
.
For each successful mapping,
.I xtotroff
creates a
.I groff
font description file in the current working directory
(or that specified by the
.B -d
option)
named for each
.I groff
font,
and reports the mapping to the standard output stream.

a resolution of 75dpi is assumed.
.
.
.TP
.BI \-s\~ type-size
Set the type size in points for all font patterns in
