groff: Font Files

 
 8.2 Font Files
 ==============
 
 The 'gtroff' font format is roughly a superset of the 'ditroff' font
 format (as used in later versions of AT&T 'troff' and its descendants).
 Unlike the 'ditroff' font format, there is no associated binary format;
 all files are text files.(1)  (⇒Font Files-Footnote-1) The font
 files for device NAME are stored in a directory 'devNAME'.  There are
 two types of file: a device description file called 'DESC' and for each
 font F a font file called 'F'.
