        !            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.
