@* Introduction.
The \.{GFDOVR} utility program reads binary generic-font (``\.{GF}'')
files that are produced by font compilers such as \MF, and generates
two output files as required by the \.{DOVER} printer. One of these files
is an \.{OC} formatted file that differ from a \.{PXL} file in that the
raster is rotated 90 degrees, that is, scanned from bottom-to-top,
left-to-right to conform with the Dover's scan, and also differs in detail
as to the overall format. The second file is a \.{WD} formatted file that
contains the width information that \.{DOVER} requires.
The |banner| string defined here should be changed whenever \.{GFDOVR}
gets modified.

@d resolution==384.0 {pixelx per inch, standard for OC files}
@ Some of the code below is intended to be used only when debugging this
program. Such code will not normally be compiled; it is delimited by the
codewords `$|debug|\ldots|gubed|$', with apologies to people who wish to
preserve the purity of English. For even more drastic and voluminous
output, we use |eebug|. @↑debugging@>

@f debug==begin
@f gubed==end
@f eebug==begin
@f gubee==end
@ This program is written in standard \PASCAL, except where it is
necessary to use extensions; for example, one extension is to use a
default |case| as in \.{TANGLE}, \.{WEAVE}, etc. All places where
nonstandard constructions are used have been listed in the index under
``system dependencies.''

@ The binary input comes from |gf_file|, and the output font is written
on |oc_file|. Status reporting and error messages appear
on \PASCAL's standard |output| file. The term |print| is used instead of
|write| when this program writes on |output|, so that all such output
could easily be redirected if desired.

@ The following parameters can be changed at compile time to extend or
reduce |GF_to_OC|'s capacity. The use of 255 as the |max_glyph_no| is a temporary
expedient to avoid trouble with test \.{.GF} files but this number should
be reduced to 127 before actual use since this is the limit imposed by the
\.{DOVER}.

@ If the \.{GF} file is badly malformed, the whole process must be aborted;
\.{GFDOVR} will give up, after issuing an error message about the symptoms
that were noticed.
Such errors might be discovered inside of subroutines inside of subroutines,
so a procedure called |jump_out| has been introduced. This procedure, which
simply transfers control to the label |final_end| at the end of the program,
contains the only non-local |goto| statement in \.{GFDOVR}.

@ We will need the following procedures:

print(chr(ord('0')+(s div unity))); s←10*(s mod unity); delta←delta*10;
until s≤delta;
end;
end;
@* Optional modes of output.
The following is left in the program to simplify the addition of some
input and output routines should these be needed later.
The |input_ln| routine waits for the user to type a line at his or her
terminal; then it puts ASCII-code equivalents for the characters on that line
into the |buffer| array. The |term_in| file is used for terminal input,
and |term_out| for terminal output.
@↑system dependencies@>
@<Glob...@>=
@!buffer:array[0..terminal_line_length] of ASCII_code;
@!term_in:text_file; {the terminal, considered as an input file}
@!term_out:text_file; {the terminal, considered as an output file}
@ Humdrum.
@p function lower_casify(@!c:ASCII_code):ASCII_code;
begin
if (c≥"A") and (c≤"Z") then lower_casify←c+"a"-"A"
else lower_casify←c;
end;
@* The character set.
Like all programs written with the \.{WEB} system, \.{GFDOVR} can be
used with any character set. But it uses ASCII code internally, because
the programming for portable input-output is easier when a fixed internal
code is used.
The next few sections of \.{GFDOVR} have therefore been copied from the
analogous ones in the \.{WEB} system routines. They have been considerably
simplified, since \.{GFDOVR} need not deal with the controversial
ASCII codes less than @'40. If such codes appear in the \.{GF} file,
they will be printed as question marks.
@<Types...@>=
@!ASCII_code=" ".."~"; {a subrange of the integers}
@ The original \PASCAL\ compiler was designed in the late 60s, when six-bit
character sets were common, so it did not make provision for lower case
letters. Nowadays, of course, we need to deal with both upper and lower case
alphabets in a convenient way, especially in a program like \.{GFDOVR}.
So we shall assume that the \PASCAL\ system being used for \.{GFDOVR}
has a character set containing at least the standard visible characters
of ASCII code (|"!"| through |"~"|).
Some \PASCAL\ compilers use the original name |char| for the data type
associated with the characters in text files, while other \PASCAL s
consider |char| to be a 64-element subrange of a larger data type that has
some other name. In order to accommodate this difference, we shall use
the name |text_char| to stand for the data type of the characters in the
output file. We shall also assume that |text_char| consists of
the elements |chr(first_text_char)| through |chr(last_text_char)|,
inclusive. The following definitions should be adjusted if necessary.
@↑system dependencies@>
@d text_char == char {the data type of characters in text files}
@d first_text_char=0 {ordinal number of the smallest element of |text_char|}
@d last_text_char=127 {ordinal number of the largest element of |text_char|}
@<Types...@>=
@!text_file=packed file of text_char;
@ The \.{GFDOVR} processor converts between ASCII code and
the user's external character set by means of arrays |xord| and |xchr|
that are analogous to \PASCAL's |ord| and |chr| functions.
@<Globals...@>=
@!xord: array [text_char] of ASCII_code;
{specifies conversion of input characters}
@!xchr: array [0..255] of text_char;
{specifies conversion of output characters}

all present, the following assignment statements initialize the
|xchr| array properly, without needing any system-dependent changes.

@* Generic font file format.
The most important output produced by a production run of \MF\ is the
``generic font'' (\.{GF}) file that specifies the bit patterns of the
characters that have been drawn. The term {\sl generic\/} indicates that
this file format doesn't match the conventions of any name-brand manufacturer;
but it is easy to convert \.{GF} files to the special format required by
almost all digital phototypesetting equipment. There's a strong analogy
between the \.{DVI} files written by \TeX\ and the \.{GF} files written
by \MF; and, in fact, the file formats have a lot in common.
A \.{GF} file is a stream of 8-bit bytes that may be
regarded as a series of commands in a machine-like language. The first
byte of each command is the operation code, and this code is followed by
zero or more bytes that provide parameters to the command. The parameters
themselves may consist of several consecutive bytes; for example, the
`|boc|' (beginning of character) command has seven parameters, each of
which is four bytes long. Parameters are usually regarded as nonnegative
integers; but four-byte-long parameters can be either positive or
negative, hence they range in value from $-2↑{31}$ to $2↑{31}-1$.
As in \.{TFM} files, numbers that occupy
more than one byte position appear in BigEndian order,
and negative numbers appear in two's complement notation.
A \.{GF} file consists of a ``preamble,'' followed by a sequence of one or
more ``characters,'' followed by a ``postamble.'' The preamble is simply a
|pre| command, with its parameters that introduce the file; this must come
first. Each ``character'' consists of a |boc| command, followed by any
number of other commands that specify the ``black'' pixels of a character,
followed by an |eoc| command. The characters appear in the order that \MF\
generated them. If we ignore no-op commands (which are allowed between any
two commands in the file), each |eoc| command is immediately followed by a
|boc| command, or by a |post| command; in the latter case, there are no
more characters in the file, and the remaining bytes form the postamble.
Further details about the postamble will be explained later.
Some parameters in \.{GF} commands are ``pointers.'' These are four-byte
quantities that give the location number of some other byte in the file;
the first byte is number~0, then comes number~1, and so on.
@ The \.{GF} format is intended to be both compact and easily interpreted
by a machine. Compactness is achieved by making most of the information
relative instead of absolute. When a \.{GF}-reading program reads the
commands for a character, it keeps track of several quantities: (a)~the current
row number,~|y|; (b)~the current column number,~|x|; and (c)~the current
starting-column number,~|z|. These are 32-bit signed integers, although
most actual font formats produced from \.{GF} files will need to curtail
this vast range because of practical limitations. (\MF\ output will never
allow $\vert x\vert$, $\vert y\vert$, or $\vert z\vert$ to exceed 4095,
but the \.{GF} format tries to be more general.)
How do \.{GF}'s row and column numbers correspond to the conventions
of \TeX\ and \MF? Well, the ``reference point'' of a character, in \TeX's
view, is considered to be at the lower left corner of the pixel in row~0
and column~0. This point is the intersection of the baseline with the left
edge of the type; it corresponds to location $(0,0)$ in \MF\ programs.
Thus the pixel in row~0 and column~0 is \MF's unit square, comprising the
region of the plane whose coordinates both lie between 0 and~1. Negative
values of~|y| correspond to rows of pixels {\sl below\/} the baseline.
Besides |x|, |y|, and |z|, there's also a fourth aspect of the current
state, namely the @!|paint_switch|, which is always either \\{black} or
\\{white}. Each \\{paint} command advances |x| by a specified amount~|d|,
and blackens the intervening pixels if |paint_switch=black|; then
the |paint_switch| changes its state. \.{GF}'s commands are designed so
that |x| will never decrease within a row, and |y| will never increase
within a character; hence there is no way to whiten a pixel that has
been blackened.
@ Here is a list of all the commands that may appear in a \.{GF} file. Each
command is specified by its symbolic name (e.g., |boc|), its opcode byte
(e.g., 67), and its parameters (if any). The parameters are followed
by a bracketed number telling how many bytes they occupy; for example,
`|d[2]|' means that parameter |d| is two bytes long.
\yskip\hang|paint_0| 0. This is a \\{paint} command with |d=0|; it does
nothing but change the |paint_switch| from \\{black} to \\{white} or vice~versa.
\yskip\hang\\{paint\_1} through \\{paint\_63} (opcodes 1 to 63).
These are \\{paint} commands with |d=1| to~63, defined as follows: If
|paint_switch=black|, blacken |d|~pixels of the current row~|y|,
in columns |x| through |x+d-1| inclusive. Then, in any case,
complement the |paint_switch| and advance |x| by~|d|.
\yskip\hang|paint1| 64 |d[1]|. This is a \\{paint} command with a specified
value of~|d|; \MF\ uses it to paint when |64≤d<256|.
\yskip\hang|@!paint2| 65 |d[2]|. Same as |paint1|, but |d|~can be as high
as~65535.
\yskip\hang|@!paint3| 66 |d[3]|. Same as |paint1|, but |d|~can be as high
as $2↑{24}-1$. \MF\ never needs this command, and it is hard to imagine
anybody making practical use of it; surely a more compact encoding will be
desirable when characters can be this large. But the command is there,
anyway, just in case.
\yskip\hang|boc| 67 |c[4]| |p[4]| |min_x[4]| |max_x[4]| |min_y[4]|
|max_y[4]| |z[4]|. Beginning of a character: Here |c| is the character
code, and |p| points to the previous |boc| command (if any) for characters
having this code number modulo 256. (The pointer |p| is |-1| if there was
no prior character with an equivalent code.) All $x$-coordinates of black
pixels in the character that follows will be |≥min_x| and |≤max_x|; all
$y$-coordinates of black pixels will be |≥min_y| and |≤max_y|. Finally,
|z|~is the leftmost potentially black column in row |max_y|; it satisfies
|min_x≤z≤max_x|. When a \.{GF}-reading program sees a |boc|, it can use
|min_x|, |max_x|, |min_y|, and |max_y| to initialize the bounds of an
array. Then it sets |y←max_y|, |paint_switch←black|, and initializes its
|x| and |z| registers to the stated value of~|z|.
\yskip\hang|eoc| 68. End of character: All pixels blackened so far
constitute the pattern for this character. In particular, a completely
blank character might have |eoc| immediately following |boc|.
\yskip\hang|skip1| 69 |m[1]|. Decrease |y| by |m+1|, set |x←z|, and set
|paint_switch←black|. This is a way to produce |m| all-white rows.
\yskip\hang|@!skip2| 70 |m[2]|. Same as |skip1|, but |m| can be as large
as 65535.
\yskip\hang|@!skip3| 71 |m[3]|. Same as |skip1|, but |m| can be as large
as $2↑{24}-1$. \MF\ obviously never needs this command.
\yskip\hang|new_row| 72 |u[4]|. Decrease |y| by 1 and set |z←z+u|; then set
|x←z| and |paint_switch←black|. (It's a general way to finish one row
and begin another.)
\yskip\hang|@!left_z_83| through |@!left_z_1| (opcodes 73 to 155). Same as
|new_row|, with |u=-83| through |-1|, respectively.
\yskip\hang|right_z_0| 156. Same as |skip1| with |m=0| or |new_row| with
|u=0|.
\yskip\hang|@!right_z_1| through |@!right_z_83| (opcodes 157 to 239). Same as
|new_row|, with |u=+1| through |+83|, respectively. \MF\ generates a
|new_row| command only when $\vert u\vert>83$.
\yskip\hang|@!nop| 240. No operation, do nothing. Any number of |nop|'s
may occur between \.{GF} commands, but a |nop| cannot be inserted between
a command and its parameters or between two parameters.
\yskip\hang|xxx1| 241 |k[1]| |x[k]|. This command is undefined in
general; it functions as a $(k+2)$-byte |nop| unless special \.{GF}-reading
programs are being used. \MF\ generates \\{xxx} commands when encountering
a \&{special} string; this occurs in the \.{GF} file only between
characters, after the preamble, and before the postamble. However, \\{xxx}
commands can appear anywhere. It is recommended that |x| be a string
having the form of a keyword followed by possible parameters relevant to
that keyword.
\yskip\hang|@!xxx2| 242 |k[2]| |x[k]|. Like |xxx1|, but |0≤k<65536|.
\yskip\hang|xxx3| 243 |k[3]| |x[k]|. Like |xxx1|, but |0≤k<@t$2↑{24}$@>|.
\MF\ uses this when sending a \&{special} string whose length exceeds~255.
\yskip\hang|@!xxx4| 244 |k[4]| |x[k]|. Like |xxx1|, but |k| can be
ridiculously large; |k| mustn't be negative.
\yskip\hang|yyy| 245 |n[4]|. This command is undefined in general;
it functions as a 5-byte |nop| unless special \.{GF}-reading programs
are being used. \MF\ puts scaled numbers into |yyy|'s, as a
result of \&{numspecial} commands; the intent is to provide numeric
parameters to \\{xxx} commands that immediately precede.
\yskip\hang|char_loc| 246 |c[1]| |v[4]| |w[4]| |p[4]|.
This command will appear only in the postamble, which will be explained shortly.
\yskip\hang|pre| 247 |i[1]| |k[1]| |x[k]|.
Beginning of the preamble; this must come at the very beginning of the

@ The last character in a \.{GF} file is followed by `|post|'; this command
introduces the postamble, which summarizes important facts that \MF\ has
accumulated. The postamble has the form
$$\vbox{\halign{\hbox{#\hfil}\cr
|post| |p[4]| |@!ds[4]| |@!cs[4]| |@!hppp[4]| |@!vppp[4]|
|@!min_x[4]| |@!max_x[4]| |@!min_y[4]| |@!max_y[4]|\cr
$\langle\,$character locators$\,\rangle$\cr
|post_post| |q[4]| |i[1]| 223's$[{\G}4]$\cr}}$$
Here |p| is a pointer to the byte following the final |eoc| in the file
(or to the byte following the preamble, if there are no characters);
it can be used to locate the beginning of \\{xxx} commands
that might have preceded the postamble. The |ds| and |cs| parameters
give the design size and check sum, respectively, which are exactly the
values put into the header of the \.{TFM} file that \MF\ produces (or
would produce) on this run. Parameters |hppp| and |vppp| are the ratios of
pixels per point, horizontally and vertically, expressed as |scaled| integers
(i.e., multiplied by $2↑{16}$); they can be used to correlate the font
with specific device resolutions, magnifications, and ``at sizes.'' Then
come |min_x|, |max_x|, |min_y|, and |max_y|, which bound the values that |x|
and~|y| assume in all of the characters of this \.{GF} file.
@ Character locators are introduced by |char_loc| commands,
which contain a character residue~|c|, a character device width~|v|,
a character width~|w|, and a pointer~|p|
to the beginning of that character. (If two or more characters have the
same code~|c| modulo 256, only the last will be indicated; the others can be
located by following backpointers. Characters whose codes differ by a
multiple of 256 are assumed to share the same font metric information,
hence the \.{TFM} file contains only residues of character codes modulo~256.
This convention is intended for oriental languages, when there are many
character shapes but few distinct widths.)
@↑oriental characters@>@↑Chinese characters@>@↑Japanese characters@>
The character device width~|v| is the value of \MF's \&{chardw} parameter,
rounded to the nearest integer, i.e., the number of pixels that the font
designer wishes the character to occupy when it is typeset within a word.
The character width~|w| duplicates the information in the \.{TFM} file; it
is a |fix_word| value relative to the design size, and it should be
independent of magnification.
The backpointer |p| points to the character's |boc|, or to the first of
a sequence of consecutive |nop| or \\{xxx} or |yyy| commands that
immediately precede the |boc|, if such commands exist; such ``special''
commands essentially belong to the characters, while the special commands
after the final character belong to the postamble (i.e., to the font
as a whole). This convention about |p| applies also to the backpointers
in |boc| commands, even though it wasn't explained in the description
of~|boc|.
@ The last part of the postamble, following the |post_post| byte that
signifies the end of the character locators, contains |q|, a pointer to the
|post| command that started the postamble. An identification byte, |i|,
comes next; this currently equals~129, as in the preamble.
The |i| byte is followed by four or more bytes that are all equal to
the decimal number 223 (i.e., @'337 in octal). \MF\ puts out four to seven of
these trailing bytes, until the total length of the file is a multiple of
four bytes, since this works out best on machines that pack four bytes per
word; but any number of 223's is allowed, as long as there are at least four
of them. In effect, 223 is a sort of signature that is added at the very end.
@↑Fuchs, David Raymond@>
This curious way to finish off a \.{GF} file makes it feasible for
\.{GF}-reading programs to find the postamble first, on most computers,
even though \MF\ wants to write the postamble last. Most operating
systems permit random access to individual words or bytes of a file, so
the \.{GF} reader can start at the end and skip backwards over the 223's
until finding the identification byte. Then it can back up four bytes, read
|q|, and move to byte |q| of the file. This byte should, of course,
contain the value 248 (|post|); now the postamble can be read, so the
\.{GF} reader can discover all the information needed for individual characters.
Unfortunately, however, standard \PASCAL\ does not include the ability to
@↑system dependencies@>
access a random position in a file, or even to determine the length of a file.
Almost all systems nowadays provide the necessary capabilities, so \.{GF}
format has been designed to work most efficiently with modern operating systems.
But if \.{GF} files have to be processed under the restrictions of standard
\PASCAL, one can simply read them from front to back. This will
be adequate for most applications. However, the postamble-first approach
would facilitate a program that merges two \.{GF} files, replacing data
from one that is overridden by corresponding data in the other.
@* Input and Output for binary files.
We have seen that a \.{GF} file is a sequence of 8-bit bytes. The bytes
appear physically in what is called a `|packed file of 0..255|'
in \PASCAL\ lingo.
Packing is system dependent, and many \PASCAL\ systems fail to implement
such files in a sensible way (at least, from the viewpoint of producing
good production software). For example, some systems treat all
byte-oriented files as text, looking for end-of-line marks and such
things. Therefore some system-dependent code is often needed to deal with
binary files, even though most of the program in this section of
\.{GFDOVR} is written in standard \PASCAL.
@↑system dependencies@>
We shall stick to simple \PASCAL\ in this program, for reasons of clarity,
even if such simplicity is sometimes unrealistic.

@ Finally we come to the routines that are used for random access of the
|gf_file|. The driver program below needs two such routines: |gf_length| should
compute the total number of bytes in |gf_file|, possibly also
causing |eof(gf_file)| to be true; and |move_to_byte(n)|
should position |gf_file| so that the next |get_byte| will read byte |n|,
starting with |n=0| for the first byte in the file.
@↑system dependencies@>
Such routines are, of course, highly system dependent. They are implemented
here in terms of two assumed system routines called |set_pos| and |cur_pos|.
The call |set_pos(f,n)| moves to item |n| in file |f|, unless |n| is
negative or larger than the total number of items in |f|; in the latter
case, |set_pos(f,n)| moves to the end of file |f|.
The call |cur_pos(f)| gives the total number of items in |f|, if
|eof(f)| is true; we use |cur_pos| only in such a situation.
@p function gf_length:integer;
begin set_pos(gf_file,-1); gf_length←cur_pos(gf_file);
end;
@#
procedure move_to_byte(n:integer);
begin set_pos(gf_file,n); cur_loc←n;
end;
@* Reading the gf information.
The main work of \.{GFDOVR} is accomplished by the |do_char| routine.
This produces the output for an entire character, assuming that the |boc|
command for that character has already been processed. This procedure
works in two parts, the first of which is essentially an interpretive
routine that reads and acts on the \.{GF} commands by saving the preamble
and postamble information in tables and by writing the |paint| commands
into a condensed two-dimentional array, |paint_array[y,p_c]|, that can
then be scanned column-by-column reading bottom-to-top to produce the
required |oc| raster. This departs from the procedure recommended in
\.{GFTYPE} and it is responsible for a drastic reduction in the operating
time. We also need to generate a simple array, |paint_val[y]|, that
reports the color (0 for white and 1 for black) of the first entry in eack
|y| column of the |paint_array|.
Rather than adjusting the size of the |paint_array| to meet the
requirements for each particular glyph, we assign an area large enough to
hold any reasonable sized glyph and arrange to clear only that portion of
the array that is actually used and do this just as the new input
information is being written into the array.
@ The definition of \.{GF} files refers to three registers,
$(x,y,z)$, which hold integer row and column numbers.

@!flag: integer; {used to mark exhaustion of |paint_array| data}
@ In place of the recommended large array of pixels to hold the character image.
we use an array called |paint_array| of dimensions
|max_y_allowed+1-min_y_allowed| and |max_p_c_allowed + 1|
to hold the yet to be interpreted paint commands
and a |paint_val| of dimensions |max_y_allowed+1-min_y_allowed| to
hold the current paint values (black or white) for the |y| row that is
next to be written out.

@* OC File Format.
An \.{OC} file is an expanded raster description of a single font at a
particular resolution and contains only a portion of the information
that is contained in a \.{GF} file. \.{OC} files are used by the Dover.
All words in of \.{OC} files are in 32-bit format, with the four lower
bits zero on 36-bit machines.
By convention, \.{OC} files
are for 384 pixels per inch. \.{GFDOVR} will report the magnification
over the design point size that will occur if the \.{OC} file is
used on a 384 pixel per inch output device. Fonts specifically designed
for the Dover will report a magnification of 1000.
Data segments of type OrbitChars have an internal structure that is a
minature version of the structure of the complete dictionary file. At the
beginning of these segements, there is a table of header information that
specifies the dimensions and widths of each character in the font. Next
there is a table of file pointers that give, for each character code, the
location of the corresponding raster block. And finally, there are the
raster blocks themselves.
The raster information is contained in a sequence of binary words that
record white pixels as zeros and black pixels as ones. Furthermore, this
raster information is written in a rotated form, as compared with the
convention for \.{PXL} files, reporting the pixels as read from the bottom
left corner of the glyph, reading up the leftmost column, with this being
followed imediately by the next column, again from bottom to top, without
any unused bit locations between columns. The final half word is, however
padded out with zeros.
Since the details of the header information for the \.{.OC} file cannot be
known until much of the work has been done toward creating the raster
information itself, the \.{OC} format arranges for the raster information
to start at byte '3000. Originally the \.{OC} portion of \.{MF} was
designed to write zeros in the first '3000 bytes, then to procede to write
the raster information, one glyph at a time, and save the necessary header
information in global arrays, and only after the last glyph has been
processed, to then write out the header. While this routine is easy to
follow in programs written in SAIL, it is difficult and indeed virtually
impossible with the simplified form of \.{PASCAL} as used in this program.
We therefore adopt an easier course, that of saving the raster information
initially in the \.{WD} file, then of writing the \.{OC} header
information into the \.{OC} file as it is being generated. We then pad
this out to 3000 bytes, as required and only then copy the raster
information from the \.{WD} file into the \.{OC} file. The necessary
\.{WD} information will have been kept in core until after this transfer
and the \.{WD} file will be |rewrite| opened and written in its final
form.
Returning to a consideration of the \.{OC} file,
the header consists of a block of 24 half-words that are characteristic of
the font in general followed by a character width table and finally by the
character-segment pointers.
There need not be a complete set of 128 glyphs in the font but it will be
assumed that the set is reasonably complete within a group from a
character number of |bc| through |ec|. There will be a set of 8
half-words of width information for each character within this group (with
a standard notation for all missing glyphs).
There will be a similar set of |ec| $-$ |bc| $+$ 1 pointers, each
occupying two half-words, for the raster information for each character
(with pointers of $-1$ for missing characters).
The initial 24 half-words of the header will contain:
\smallskip\hang\noindent
0. A header for the family-name IX.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
1. The font name code.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
2..11.. A 20-character font identifier string.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
12. Header for orbit-chars IX.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
13. Name code again in left byte and logical size encoded as face byte.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
14. |bc| in left byte and |ec| in right byte.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
15. Physical size in micas (real).
\smallskip\hang\noindent
16. Rotation in minutes of arc.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
17..18. Starting file position of font segment.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
19..20. Font segment length.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
21. X resolution in units of pixels/(10 inchs) (real)
\smallskip\hang\noindent
22. Y resolution in units of pixels/(10 inches) (real).
\smallskip\hang\noindent
23. EndIX.
\smallskip
The 8 words of width information for each |ec|$-$|bc|$+1$ entry will contain:
\smallskip\hang\noindent
0,1. X-width$*$xresolution$*(2↑16)$.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
2,3. Y-width$*$yresolution$*(2↑16)$.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
4. Bounding box x-offset.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
5. Bounding box y-offset.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
6. Bounding box x-width in scan lines.
\smallskip\hang\noindent
7. Bounding box y-height in bits.
\smallskip
Finally the raster information for each glyph will occupy a varying amount
of space up to a limit of
(((|right_pixel|-|left_pixel|)*(|top_pixel|-|bot_pixel|)+15)div 16 half-words,
although most glyphs will not occupy this much space.

This section should be replaced, if necessary, by changes to the program
that are necessary to make \.{GFDOVR} work at a particular installation.
It is usually best to design your change file so that all changes to
previous sections preserve the section numbering; then everybody's version
will be consistent with the printed program. More extensive changes,
which introduce new sections, can be inserted here; then only the index
itself will get a new section number.
