TEXTPS(1)		    General Commands Manual		     TEXTPS(1)

NAME
       textps -	text to	PostScript filter

SYNOPSIS
       textps [	-cn ] [	-ln ] [	-mn ] [	-tn ] [	-vn ] [	filename...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       textps  is  a  simple text to PostScript	filter.	 It is usually invoked
       automatically by	a spooler.  Input files	can use	ISO Latin-1.   Two  or
       more  identical	overstruck  characters are rendered using a bold font.
       Tabs are	assumed	to be set every	8 character positions.	textps is  de-
       signed to produce good output with lpr -p or pr | lpr; if you print un-
       paginated  text,	 you  will need	to increase the	-t option and decrease
       the -v or -l option.

OPTIONS
       The arguments for all options except  -l	 are  floating-point  numbers.
       The argument for	-l must	be a positive integer.

       -cn    Use n characters to the inch.

       -ln    Use n lines per page.

       -mn    Use a left margin	of n points.

       -tn    Position	the  baseline of the first line	of text	n points below
	      the top of the page.

       -vn    Use a vertical spacing of	n points.

       The default behaviour is	-c12 -l66 -m18 -t8 -v12.
