If this option isn't specified, the line thickness defaults to 0.04\~em. .TP .B \-v .TQ .B \-\-version Print the version number. .TP .BI \-F dir .TQ .BI \-\-fontdir= dir Prepend directory .IB dir /dev name to the search path for font and device description files; .I name is the name of the device, usually .BR lbp . .TP .B \-h .TQ .B \-\-help Print a short help text. .SH TYPEFACES The driver supports the Dutch, Swiss and Swiss-Narrow scalable typefaces, each one in the Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold-Italic styles. Additionally, the Courier and Elite monospaced typefaces at the sizes 8 and 12 points (for Courier) resp. 8 and 10 points (for Elite) are supported, each one in the Regular, Bold and Italic styles. .PP The following chart summarizes the font names you can use to access these fonts: .PP .TS tab(|) allbox center; c c c c c ab c c c c . Typeface | Regular | Bold | Italic | Bold-Italic Dutch | TR | TB | TI | TBI Swiss | HR | HB | HI | HBI Swiss Narrow | HNR | HNB | HNI | HNBI Courier | CR | CB | CI | Elite | ER | EB | EI | .TE .PP .SH PAPER SIZES The paper size can be set in the .B DESC file or with command line options to .BR grolbp . If the paper size is specified both ways, the command line options take precedence over the contents of the .B DESC file (this applies to the page orientation too). .PP See .BR groff_font (@MAN1EXT@) how to set the paper dimensions in the .B DESC file. .PP To set the paper size in the command line, add .sp 1 .in +2m .BI \-p \ paper-size .in -2m .sp 1 or .sp 1 .in +2m .BI \-\-papersize= paper-size .in -2m .sp 1 to the other .B grolbp options, where .I paper-size is in the same format as in the .B DESC file. .PP If no paper size is specified in the .B DESC file or the command line, a default size of A4 is used. .SH PAGE ORIENTATION As with the page size, the orientation of the printed page .RB ( portrait or .BR landscape ) can be set in the .B DESC file or with command line options. It is also case insensitive. .PP To set the orientation in the .B DESC file, insert a line with the following content: .sp 1 .in +2m .B orientation .RB [ portrait | landscape ] .in -2m .sp 1 Only the first valid orientation command in the .B DESC file is used. .PP To set the page orientation with command line options you can use the .B \-o or .B \-\-orientation option with the same parameters .RB ( portrait or .BR landscape ) as in the .B DESC file. Or you can use the .B \-l option to force the pages to be printed in landscape. .SH FONT FILE FORMAT In addition to the usual commands described in .BR groff_font (@MAN5EXT@), .B grolbp provides the command .I lbpname which sets the font name sent to the printer when requesting this font. The syntax of this command is: .sp 1 .in +2m .B lbpname .I printer_font_name .in -2m .IP \(bu For bitmapped fonts, .I printer_font_name has the form .sp 1 .in +2m .RI N\(la base_fontname \(ra\(la font_style \(ra .in -2m .sp 1 .I base_fontname is the font name as it appears in the printers font listings without the first letter, up to (but not including) the font size. .I font_style can be one of the letters .BR R , .BR I , or .BR B , indicating the font styles Roman, Italic and Bold respectively. .IP For instance, if the printer's .I font listing A shows font `Nelite12I.ISO_USA', the corresponding entry in the font description file is .sp 1 .in +2m .B lbpname NeliteI .in -2m .IP Note that you may need to modify .B grolbp to add support for new bitmapped fonts, since the available font names and font sizes of bitmapped fonts (as documented above) are hard-coded into the program. .IP \(bu For scalable fonts, .I printer_font_name is identical to the font name as it appears in the printer's .IR "font listing A" . .IP For instance, to select the `Swiss' font in bold style, which appears in the printer's .I font listing A as `Swiss-Bold', the required .B lbpname command line is .sp 1 .in +2m .B lbpname Swiss-Bold .in -2m .sp 1 .PP The argument of .B lbpname is case sensitive. .SH FILES .TP .B @FONTDIR@/devlbp/DESC Device description file. .TP .BI @FONTDIR@/devlbp/ F Font description file for font .IR F . .TP .B @MACRODIR@/lbp.tmac Macros for use with .BR grolbp . .SH SEE ALSO .BR groff (@MAN1EXT@), .BR @g@troff (@MAN1EXT@), .BR groff_out (@MAN5EXT@), .BR groff_font (@MAN5EXT@), .BR groff_char (@MAN7EXT@) .\" .\" Local Variables: .\" mode: nroff .\" End:
