VTROFF 1 ""
C 4 NAME
vtroff - troff to a raster plotter
SYNOPSIS
vtroff [
-w ] [
-F majorfont
] [
-123 minorfont
] [
-llength
] [
-x ] troff arguments
DESCRIPTION
Vtroff runs
troff (1) sending its output through various programs
to produce typeset output on a raster plotter
such as a Benson-Varian or or a Versatec.
The
-W option specifies that a wide output device be used; the default
is to use a narrow device.
The
-l (lower case l) option causes the output to be split onto successive pages
every
length inches rather than the default 11''.
The default font is a Hershey font. If some other font is desired you can give a -F argument and then the font name. This will place normal, italic and bold versions of the font on positions 1, 2, and 3. To place a font only on a single position, you can give an argument of the form -n and the minor font name. A .r will be added to the minor font name if needed. Thus ``vtroff -ms paper'' will set a paper in the Hershey font, while ``vtroff -F nonie -ms paper'' will set the paper in the (sans serif) nonie font. The -x option asks for exact simulation of photo-typesetter output. (I.e. using the width tables for the C.A.T. photo-typesetter)

BUGS
Since some macro packages work correctly only if the fonts
named R, I, B, and S are mounted, and since the Versatec fonts
have different widths for individual characters than the fonts
found on the typesetter, the following dodge was necessary:
If you don't use the ``.fp'' troff directive
then you get the widths of the standard typesetter fonts
suitable for shipping the output of
troff over the network to the computer center A machine for phototypesetting.
If, however, you remount the R, I, B and S fonts, then you get
the width tables for the Versatec.
