| 24 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 25 | .I Vtroff | |
| 26 | runs | |
| 27 | .IR troff (1) | |
| 28 | sending its output through various programs | |
| 29 | to produce typeset output on a raster plotter | |
| 30 | such as a Benson-Varian or or a Versatec. | |
| 31 | The | |
| 32 | .B \-W | |
| 33 | option specifies that a wide output device be used; the default | |
| 34 | is to use a narrow device. | |
| 35 | The | |
| 36 | .B \-l | |
| 37 | (lower case l) option causes the output to be split onto successive pages | |
| 38 | every | |
| 39 | .I length | |
| 40 | inches rather than the default 11''. | |
| 41 | .PP | |
| 42 | The default font is a Hershey font. If some other font is desired | |
| 43 | you can give a | |
| 44 | .B \-F | |
| 45 | argument and then the font name. This will place normal, italic and | |
| 46 | bold versions of the font on positions 1, 2, and 3. | |
| 47 | To place a font only on a single position, you can give an argument of | |
| 48 | the form | |
| 49 | .B \-\fIn\fR | |
| 50 | and the minor font name. A \fB.r\fR will be added to the minor | |
| 51 | font name if needed. Thus ``vtroff \-ms paper'' will set a paper | |
| 52 | in the Hershey font, while ``vtroff \-F nonie \-ms paper'' | |
| 53 | will set the paper in the (sans serif) nonie font. | |
| 54 | The | |
| 55 | .B \-x | |
| 56 | option asks for exact simulation of photo-typesetter output. | |
| 57 | (I.e. using the width tables for the C.A.T. photo-typesetter) | |

67 | .SH BUGS |
| 68 | Since some macro packages work correctly only if the fonts | |
| 69 | named R, I, B, and S are mounted, and since the Versatec fonts | |
| 70 | have different widths for individual characters than the fonts | |
| 71 | found on the typesetter, the following dodge was necessary: | |
| 72 | If you don't use the ``.fp'' troff directive | |
| 73 | then you get the widths of the standard typesetter fonts | |
| 74 | suitable for shipping the output of | |
| 75 | troff over the network to the computer center A machine for phototypesetting. | |
| 76 | If, however, you remount the R, I, B and S fonts, then you get | |
| 77 | the width tables for the Versatec. |
