this file should consist of a sequence of lines of the form:

If a character has no groff names but exists in the tfm file,

then it will be put in the groff font file as an unnamed character.

a character is not found in the current font.)
89
If the font is special,
90
it should be listed in the
92
command in the DESC file;
93
if it is not special, there is no need to list it, since
95
can automatically mount it when it's first used.
97
To do a good job of math typesetting, groff requires
98
font metric information not present in the tfm file.
99
The reason for this is that \*(tx has separate math italic fonts
100
whereas groff uses normal italic fonts for math.
101
The additional information required by groff is given by the
104
macro in the Metafont programs for the Computer Modern fonts.
105
In a text font (a font for which
107
is false), Metafont normally ignores these two arguments.
108
Metafont can be made to put this information in the gf file
109
by loading the following definition after
116
def ignore_math_fit(expr left_adjustment,right_adjustment) =
117
special "adjustment";
118
numspecial left_adjustment*16/designsize;
