        !            17:      grams to produce typeset output on a raster plotter such as
        !            18:      a Benson-Varian or or a Versatec. The -W option specifies
        !            19:      that a wide output device be used; the default is to use a
        !            20:      narrow device.  The -l (lower case l) option causes the out-
        !            21:      put to be split onto successive pages every _l_e_n_g_t_h inches
        !            22:      rather than the default 11''.
        !            23: 
        !            24:      The default font is a Hershey font.  If some other font is
        !            25:      desired you can give a -F argument and then the font name.
        !            26:      This will place normal, italic and bold versions of the font
        !            27:      on positions 1, 2, and 3. To place a font only on a single
        !            28:      position, you can give an argument of the form -_n and the
        !            29:      minor font name.  A .r will be added to the minor font name
        !            30:      if needed.  Thus ``vtroff -ms paper'' will set a paper in
        !            31:      the Hershey font, while ``vtroff -F nonie -ms paper'' will
        !            32:      set the paper in the (sans serif) nonie font.  The -x option
        !            33:      asks for exact simulation of photo-typesetter output.  (I.e.
        !            34:      using the width tables for the C.A.T. photo-typesetter)

        !            46:      named R, I, B, and S are mounted, and since the Versatec
        !            47:      fonts have different widths for individual characters than
        !            48:      the fonts found on the typesetter, the following dodge was
        !            49:      necessary: If you don't use the ``.fp'' troff directive then
        !            50:      you get the widths of the standard typesetter fonts suitable
        !            51:      for shipping the output of troff over the network to the

        !            53:      ever, you remount the R, I, B and S fonts, then you get the
