                     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)
                     58: .SH FILES

                     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.
