textps - text to PostScript filter
textps [ -cn ] [ -ln ] [ -mn ]
[ -tn ] [ -vn ] [ filename... ]
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 designed to
produce good output with lpr -p or
pr | lpr; if you print unpaginated text, you will need to
increase the -t option and decrease the -v or -l option.
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.
