TR10. How do I make width tables?
Creating them is not hard. Getting the actual metrics sometimes is. The AT&T documentation "Troff User's Manual" describes the DWB width table format. Your DWB may already have a manual page for it. Psroff 3.0 contains documentation on DWB and CAT troff format width tables. DWB 3.3, Psroff 3.0 and tpscript each have a utility for automatically creating width tables by sucking the data out of a PostScript device. Psroff 3.0 and jetroff have utilities for creating width tables from HP laserjet fonts. Psroff 3.0 can convert between any of the 5 width table formats. Groff contains a package for generating groff width tables from HP's scaleable font metrics format. Consult the documentation to find out where to put the files.
