+with the +.B \-s +option, +only the \[lq]mathematical\[rq] symbol sets are searched. +. +Nonetheless, +restricting the symbol sets searched isn't very selective\[em]many +glyphs are placed in both regular and special fonts. +. +Normally, +the +.B \-a +option should be used only as a last resort. +. +. +.TP +.B \-d +Dump information about the TFM file to the standard output; +this option can be useful for ensuring that a TFM file is a proper match +for a font, +and that the contents of the TFM file are suitable. +. +The information includes the values of important TFM tags, +and a listing (by MSL number for Intellifont TFM files or by Unicode +value for TrueType TFM files) of the glyphs included in the TFM file. +. +The unit of measure \[oq]DU\[cq] for some tags indicates design units; +there are 8782\~design units per em for Intellifont fonts, +and 2048\~design units per em for TrueType fonts. +. +Note that the accessibility of a glyph depends on its inclusion in a +symbol set; +some TFM files list many glyphs but only a few symbol sets. +. +.IP +The glyph listing includes the glyph index within the TFM file, +the MSL or Unicode value, +and the symbol set and character code that will be used to print the +glyph. +. +If +.I map-file +is given, +.I groff +names are given for matching glyphs. +. +If only the glyph index and MSL or Unicode value are given, +the glyph does not appear in any supported symbol set and cannot be +printed. +. +.IP +With the +.B \-d +option, +.I map-file +is optional, +and +.I output-font +is ignored if given. +. +.TP +.B \-q +Suppress warnings about characters in the map file that were not found +in the TFM file. +. +Warnings never are given for unnamed glyphs or by glyphs named by their +Unicode values. +. +This option is useful when sending the output of +.B hpftodit +to the standard output. +. +.TP +.B \-v +Print the +.B hpftodit +version number and exit. +. +.TP +.B \-s +The font is special. +. +This option adds the +.B special +command to the font file, +and affects the order in which HP symbol sets are searched for each +glyph. +. +Without the +.B \-s +option, +the \[lq]text\[rq] sets are searched before the \[lq]mathematical\[rq] +symbol sets. +With the +.B \-s +option, +the search order is reversed. +. +.TP +.BI \-i n +Generate an italic correction for each character so that the character's +width plus the character's italic correction is equal to +.I 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. +. +.IP +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. +. +.IP +Also generate a left italic correction for each character equal to +.I 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. +. +.IP +This option normally is needed only with italic or oblique fonts;
