DESCRIPTION
       xtotroff takes a font-map, which maps groff(1) fonts to X11 fonts, cre-
       ates 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 Logi-
       cal 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.

       Whitespace is permitted between a command-line option and its argument.
