                     15: DESCRIPTION
                     16:      _V_t_r_o_f_f runs _t_r_o_f_f(1) sending its output through various pro-
                     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)

                     45:      Since some macro packages work correctly only if the fonts
                     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
                     52:      computer center A machine for phototypesetting.  If, how-
                     53:      ever, you remount the R, I, B and S fonts, then you get the
                     54:      width tables for the Versatec.
