Dear All,
the afmtodit(1) from ver 1.9 told me
 If a PostScript character is in the encoding to be used  for  the  font
 but  is  not  mentioned  in  map_file, OR if a generic groff glyph name
 can't be deduced using the Adobe Glyph List (built into afmtodit)  then
 afmtodit  will  put  it in the groff font file as an unnamed character,
Why "or"?
If I have a font in a cyrillic encoding, then i have to use  a custom
map file, mapping cyrillic glyphs to u???? values, just as afmtodit
does automaticaly  for unencoded glyphs. It looks like a useless job.
Custom map files may be desired for something weird, like using
8bit chars in output, but for typical use (GGL from textmap +
 AGL from afmtodit) we just have to replace "or" with "and".
BTW, AGL in afmtodit is incomplete, it does not have mappings even for
some glyphs from Adobe Cyrillic Encoding (like accents and rarely used
cyrillic letters).
Are the problems worth fixing?
                    Sincerely, Michail
