- The refont program accepts input which may contain any common method for
- describing fonts. It outputs a version of the input which uses one method
- of your choice.

- +----------------------------------------------+
- | *** WARNING *** |
- | |
- | This program has not been thoroughly tested. |
- | The code is ugly. I'm not proud of this one. |
- +----------------------------------------------+
-
- The invocation signature of refont is...
-
- refont [-bcdefx] [files]...
-
- ... where "-bcdefx" represents *one* of the following...
- -b use overtyping, implemented by backspacing
- -c use overtyping, implemented with carriage returns
- -d use nroff style "dot" commands (doesn't work very well yet)
- -e use Epson-compatible printer escape codes
- -f use the "backslash-f" notation
- -x strip all formatting information
-
- If the "files" list is empty, then refont reads from stdin, unless stdin has
- not been redirected. If more than one file is named, then formfeeds are
- inserted between them.
-
- If you have an Epson-compatible printer, then you can use the following
- command to print a file (here, the file "foo") which contains some other
- style of formatting notation:
-
- $ refont -e foo | lpr
-
- For other printers, try one of the overtyping notations:
-
- $ refont -c foo | lpr
