                      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.
