+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IR Tfm2difont (1)
+converts tfm files to ditroff compatible width tables which can subsequently
+be run through
+.I makedev
+and used with ditroff.
+A file is created with the same name as the tfm file with the `.tfm' extension
+removed.
+The `name' and `internalname' are set to the same name as the font.
+.PP
+The
+.B -s
+flag causes the font(s) to be considered special.
+The
+.B -w
+flag allows you to set
+.I spacewidth.
+Normally, a non-special font is assumed to have the ligatures
+.BR ff ,
+.BR fi ,
+.BR fl ,
+.B ffi
+and
+.BR ffl .
+The
+.B -l
+flag causes a named ligature to be removed.
+Any number of
+.B -l
+flags may be given.
+Ligatures are ignored if the font is special since special fonts don't have
+ligatures.
+Because the `a' character is used for kerning information in non-special
+fonts, it must exist in a non-special font.
+.PP
+The created width table contains the size of the characters at 10 points
+.RI ( unitwidth
+in the DESC file).
+.IR Troff (1)
+scales the width of characters depending on the size currently in use.
+So, if a 5 point font is being used, the width is halved.
+Because of this, you cannot create a separate font with reshaped characters
+for five points with
+METAFONT.
+\*(TX allows you to do this though.
