1.1     ! root        1: .TH prtxfont 5G "WH" MARX
        !             2: .SH NAME
        !             3: prtxfont \- character sets for prtx
        !             4: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             5: .P
        !             6: A font file describes for each character the dots that \fIprtx\fR 
        !             7: should use to construct that character.
        !             8: Any character not described in the file is treated as a blank.
        !             9: Only characters 0 through 127 are allowed.
        !            10: .P
        !            11: The first line of a file contains an integer NR giving the number
        !            12: of rows of dots in each character.
        !            13: .P
        !            14: Except for the first each line contains a character designator
        !            15: followed by the description of that character.  
        !            16: The character designator is either the character itself or
        !            17: "\n" where n is the octal representation of the character.  
        !            18: .P
        !            19: A character description consists of NR strings. Each string
        !            20: consisting of some number of "dot descriptions", and separated
        !            21: from the preceding string or the character designator by spaces.
        !            22: Conceptually a character is formed by placing the strings on 
        !            23: top of each, left aligned, with the first on top.  For normal
        !            24: size characters each dot description corresponds to a potentially
        !            25: printed dot.  For larger characters each description corresponds
        !            26: to several dots and indicates a pattern for the dots.
        !            27: .P
        !            28: The possible dot descriptions are:
        !            29: .TP 10
        !            30: 1
        !            31: Fill in the entire area.  This is the only description that causes a
        !            32: dot to be printed at the normal size.
        !            33: .TP 10
        !            34: 0
        !            35: Leave the entire area blank
        !            36: .TP 10
        !            37: a
        !            38: Fill in the upper right hand corner
        !            39: .TP 10
        !            40: b
        !            41: Fill in the lower right hand corner
        !            42: .TP 10
        !            43: c
        !            44: Fill in the lower left hand corner
        !            45: .TP 10
        !            46: d
        !            47: Fill in the upper left hand corner
        !            48: .TP 10
        !            49: A
        !            50: Fill in the the area but leave a wedge blank on the left hand side.
        !            51: The descriptions with omitted wedges are useful for constructing 
        !            52: pointed characters.  E.g. 'A' might be used at the right hand part
        !            53: of a '>'
        !            54: .TP
        !            55: B
        !            56: Fill in the area but leave a wedge blank at the top.
        !            57: .TP
        !            58: C
        !            59: Fill in the area but leave a wedge blank at the right.
        !            60: .TP
        !            61: D
        !            62: Fill in the area but leave a wedge blank at the bottom.
