NAME

htroff - text formatter for HP LaserJet

SYNOPSIS

htroff [ -options ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

Htroff is a front end for the troff(1) text formatting program. It sends its output to a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet or compatible printer. In addition to all of the standard troff options, htroff also accepts arguments of the form -nXX, which indicate that the font with name XX is to be mounted on font position n (1 <= n <= 3). Fonts 1-3 default to "R", "I", and "B", (Times Roman, Times Bold, and Times Italic) respectively.

Also, arguments of the form -dfontfile are accepted, and cause the named fontfile to be downloaded to the printer before the text is printed.
