    NAME
         plotfont - produce character maps of fonts supported by  the
         plotting utilities
    
    SYNOPSIS
         plotfont [ options ] fonts
    
    DESCRIPTION
         plotfont produces a character map for any font that is  sup-
         ported  by  the  plotting utilities, which include graph(1),
         plot(1), pic2plot(1), tek2plot(1), and the GNU  libplot  2-D
         graphics export library (see plot(3)).  Which fonts are sup-
         ported depends on the output format or display  type,  which
         is  specified  by  the  -T  option.   A listing of the fonts
         available in any specified output  format  may  be  obtained
         with the --help-fonts option (see below).
    
         The character map, or maps, will be written to standard out-
         put  in  the specified format.  For example, the Times-Roman
         font is available when  producing  Postscript  output.   The
         command plotfont -T ps Times-Roman > charmap.ps will yield a
         character map of the Times-Roman font, in a Postscript  for-
         mat  that  can be viewed or edited with the idraw(1) drawing
         editor.  The Times-Roman font is also available when produc-
         ing  Fig  output,  which  can  be  viewed or edited with the
         xfig(1)  drawing  editor.   The  command  plotfont  -T   fig
         Times-Roman > charmap.fig will yield the same character map,
         but in Fig format rather than in Postscript format.
    
         As another example, the Univers font is available when  pro-
         ducing  PCL 5 output.  The command plotfont -T pcl Univers >
         charmap.pcl will produce a  character  map  of  the  Univers
         font, in PCL 5 format.
    
         When producing output for the X Window System, i.e.,  for  a
         popped-up window, any scalable X Window System font that has
         an XLFD (i.e., X Logical  Font  Description)  name  is  sup-
         ported.    For   example,   the   command   plotfont   -T  X
         utopia-medium-r-normal will pop up  a  window,  and  draw  a
         character  map  of the Utopia-Regular font.  "utopia-medium-
         r-normal" is  a  truncated  version  of  the  Utopia-Regular
         font's  XLFD  name.  The Utopia-Regular font is available on
         most X Window System displays.
    
    OPTIONS
      General Options
         -T type
         --display-type type
              Select type as the output format or display  type.   It
              may  be  "X",  "png",  "pnm", "gif", "svg", "ai", "ps",
              "cgm", "fig", "pcl", "hpgl", "regis", "tek", or  "meta"
              (the  default).   These  refer  respectively  to  the X
              Window System, PNG (Portable Network Graphics)  format,
              portable anymap format (PBM/PGM/PPM), a pseudo-GIF for-
              mat that does not use LZW encoding, the  new  XML-based
              Scalable  Vector  Graphics  format,  the format used by
              Adobe   Illustrator,   Postscript    or    Encapsulated
              Postscript  (EPS) that can be edited with idraw(1), CGM
              format (by default, confirming to the WebCGM  profile),
              the  format  used  by  the  xfig(1) drawing editor, the
              Hewlett-Packard   PCL   5   printer    language,    the
              Hewlett-Packard  Graphics Language, ReGIS graphics for-
              mat (which can be displayed by the  dxterm(1)  terminal
              emulator  or  by  a VT330 or VT340 terminal), Tektronix
              format (which can be displayed by the xterm(1) terminal
              emulator),  and  device-independent GNU metafile format
              itself.  Unless type is "X", an output file is produced
              and written to standard output.
    
              Files in PNG, PNM, pseudo-GIF, AI, or Fig  format  con-
              tain  only a single page of graphics.  So if the -T png
              option, the -T pnm option, the -T gif option, the -T ai
              option,  or  the -T fig option is used, the output file
              will contain  a  character  map  for  only  the  first-
              specified font.
    
              A listing of the fonts available in any specified  out-
              put format may be obtained with the --help-fonts option
              (see below).  If a requested  font  is  unavailable,  a
              default  font will be substituted.  The default font is
              "Helvetica" for "X",  "svg",  "ai",  "ps",  "cgm",  and
              "fig",  "Univers"  for  "pcl",  and  "HersheySerif" for
              "png",  "pnm",  "gif",  "hpgl",  "regis",  "tek",   and
              "meta".
    
         -1
         --lower-half
              Generate a character map for the  lower  half  of  each
              specified font.  This is the default.
    
         -2
         --upper-half
              Generate a character map for the  upper  half  of  each
              specified font.
    
         -o
         --octal
              Number the characters in octal rather than  in  decimal
              (the default).
    
         -x
         --hexadecimal
              Number the characters in  hexadecimal  rather  than  in
              decimal (the default).
    
         --box
              Surround each character with a box, showing its  extent
              to left and right.  The default is not to do this.
    
         -j row
         --jis-row row
              Generate a character map for row row of a Japanese font
              arranged  according  to  JIS [Japanese Industrial Stan-
              dard] X0208.  The only such font currently available is
              the  HersheyEUC  [Extended  Unix  Code] font.  If used,
              this option overrides the -1 and -2 options.  The valid
              rows  are  1...94.   In  the  JIS X0208 standard, Roman
              characters are located in row 3, and Japanese  syllabic
              characters  (Hiragana and Katakana) are located in rows
              4 and 5.  Greek and Cyrillic characters are located  in
              rows  6 and 7.  Japanese ideographic characters (Kanji)
              are located in rows 16...84.
    
         --bg-color name
              Set the color used for the background to be name.  This
              is  relevant  only  to  plotfont -T X, plotfont -T png,
              plotfont -T pnm, plotfont  -T  gif,  plotfont  -T  svg,
              plotfont  -T  cgm,  and plotfont -T regis.  An unrecog-
              nized name sets the color  to  the  default,  which  is
              "white".  The environment variable BG_COLOR can equally
              well be used to specify the background color.
    
              If the -T png or -T gif option is used,  a  transparent
              PNG file or a transparent pseudo-GIF, respectively, may
              be produced by setting the  TRANSPARENT_COLOR  environ-
              ment  variable to the name of the background color.  If
              the -T svg or -T cgm option is  used,  an  output  file
              without  a  background  may  be produced by setting the
              background color to "none".
    
         --bitmap-size bitmap_size
              Set the size of the graphics display in which the char-
              acter  map(s)  will be drawn, in terms of pixels, to be
              bitmap_size.   The  default  is  "570x570".   This   is
              relevant  only to plotfont -T X, plotfont -T png, plot-
              font -T pnm, and plotfont -T gif, all of which  produce
              bitmaps.  If you choose a rectangular (non-square) win-
              dow size, the fonts in the  character  map(s)  will  be
              scaled  anisotropically,  i.e., by different factors in
              the horizontal and vertical directions.   For  plotfont
              -T  X,  this  requires an X11R6 display.  Any font that
              cannot be scaled in this way  will  be  replaced  by  a
              default   scalable   font,  such  as  the  vector  font
              "HersheySerif".
    
              The environment variable BITMAPSIZE can equally well be
              used   to   specify  the  window  size.   For  backward
              compatibility, the X  resource  Xplot.geometry  may  be
              used instead.
    
         --emulate-color option
              If option is yes, replace each color in the  output  by
              an  appropriate  shade of gray.  This is seldom useful,
              except when using plotfont -T pcl to prepare output for
              a  PCL  5 device.  (Many monochrome PCL 5 devices, such
              as monochrome LaserJets, do a  poor  job  of  emulating
              color  on  their  own.)   You  may equally well request
              color emulation by  setting  the  environment  variable
              EMULATE_COLOR to "yes".
    
         --numbering-font name
              Set the font used for the numbering of  the  characters
              in  the  character  map(s)  to be name, rather than the
              default.
    
         --page-size pagesize
              Set the size of size of the page on which the character
              map(s)  will  be  positioned.  This is relevant only to
              plotfont -T svg, plotfont -T ai, plotfont -T ps,  plot-
              font  -T  cgm,  plotfont  -T  fig, plotfont -T pcl, and
              plotfont -T hpgl.  The default is "letter", which means
              an  8.5 inch by 11 inch page.  Any ISO page size in the
              range "a0"..."a4"  or  ANSI  page  size  in  the  range
              "a"..."e"  may  be  specified ("letter" is an alias for
              "a" and "tabloid" is an alias for  "b").   "legal"  and
              "ledger"  are recognized page sizes also.  The environ-
              ment variable PAGESIZE can  equally  well  be  used  to
              specify the page size.
    
              The graphics display in which  each  character  map  is
              drawn  will be a square region that would occupy nearly
              the full width of the specified page.   An  alternative
              size  for  the  graphics display can be specified.  For
              example,  the  page  size   could   be   specified   as
              "letter,xsize=4in,ysize=6in",                        or
              "a4,xsize=5.0cm,ysize=100mm".  For  all  of  the  above
              except  plotfont -T hpgl, the graphics display will, by
              default, be centered on the page.  For all of the above
              except  plotfont -T svg and plotfont -T cgm, the graph-
              ics display may be repositioned manually, by specifying
              the  location of its lower left corner, relative to the
              lower left corner of the page.  For example,  the  page
              size         could        be        specified        as
              "letter,xorigin=2in,yorigin=3in",                    or
              "a4,xorigin=0.5cm,yorigin=0.5cm".   It is also possible
              to specify an offset vector.   For  example,  the  page
              size  could  be  specified  as "letter,xoffset=1in", or
              "letter,xoffset=1in,yoffset=1.2in",                  or
              "a4,yoffset=-1cm".   In SVG format and WebCGM format it
              is  possible  to  specify  the  size  of  the  graphics
              display, but not its position.
    
         --rotation angle
              Rotate the graphics display by angle  degrees.   Recog-
              nized values are "0", "90", "180", and "270".  "no" and
              "yes" are equivalent to  "0"  and  "90",  respectively.
              The  environment  variable ROTATION can also be used to
              specify a rotation angle.
    
         --pen-color name
              Set the pen color to be  name.   An  unrecognized  name
              sets the pen color to the default, which is "black".
    
      Options for Metafile Output
         The following option is relevant only if the  -T  option  is
         omitted  or  if -T meta is used.  In this case the output of
         plotfont will be in GNU graphics metafile format.  It may be
         translated to other formats by invoking plot(1).
    
         -O
         --portable-output
              Output the portable  (human-readable)  version  of  GNU
              metafile  format,  rather  than the binary version (the
              default).   The  format  of  the  binary   version   is
              machine-dependent.
    
      Informational Options
         --help
              Print a list of command-line options, and exit.
    
         --help-fonts
              Print a table of available fonts, and exit.  The  table
              will  depend  on which output format or display type is
              specified with the -T option.  plotfont -T X,  plotfont
              -T  svg,  plotfont  -T  ai, plotfont -T ps, plotfont -T
              cgm, and plotfont -T fig each support the  35  standard
              Postscript  fonts.   plotfont  -T svg, plotfont -T pcl,
              and plotfont -T hpgl support  the  45  standard  PCL  5
              fonts,   and   the  latter  two  support  a  number  of
              Hewlett-Packard vector fonts.  All seven support a  set
              of  22  Hershey  vector  fonts,  as do plotfont -T png,
              plotfont -T pnm, plotfont -T gif,  plotfont  -T  regis,
              and  plotfont  -T tek.  plotfont without a -T option in
              principle supports any of these fonts, since its output
              must   be  translated  to  other  formats  by  invoking
              plot(1).
    
         --list-fonts
              Like --help-fonts, but lists  the  fonts  in  a  single
              column  to  facilitate piping to other programs.  If no
              output format is specified with the -T option, the full
              set of supported fonts is listed.
    
         --version
              Print the version number of plotfont and  the  plotting
              utilities package, and exit.
    
    ENVIRONMENT
         The environment variables  BITMAPSIZE,  PAGESIZE,  BG_COLOR,
         EMULATE_COLOR, and ROTATION serve as backups for the options
         --bitmap-size, --page-size, --bg-color, --emulate-color, and
         --rotation,  respectively.   The remaining environment vari-
         ables are specific to individual output formats.
    
         plotfont -T X, which pops up a window on an X Window  System
         display  for each character map, checks the DISPLAY environ-
         ment variable.  Its value determines the display  that  will
         be used.
    
         plotfont -T png and plotfont -T gif, which produce output in
         PNG  format and pseudo-GIF format respectively, are affected
         by the INTERLACE environment  variable.   If  its  value  is
         "yes",   the  output  will  be  interlaced.   Also,  if  the
         TRANSPARENT_COLOR environment variable is set to the name of
         a  color,  that  color will be treated as transparent in the
         output.
    
         plotfont -T pnm, which produces output  in  portable  anymap
         (PBM/PGM/PPM)   format,  is  affected  by  the  PNM_PORTABLE
         environment variable.  If its value  is  "yes",  the  output
         will  be  in a human-readable format rather than binary (the
         default).
    
         plotfont -T cgm, which  produces  output  in  CGM  (Computer
         Graphics    Metafile)    format,    is   affected   by   the
         CGM_MAX_VERSION and CGM_ENCODING environment variables.   By
         default, it produces a binary-encoded version of CGM version
         3 format.  For backward compatibility,  the  version  number
         may  be  reduced  by  setting CGM_MAX_VERSION to "2" or "1".
         Irrespective of version, the output CGM file  will  use  the
         human-readable clear text encoding if CGM_ENCODING is set to
         "clear_text".  However, only binary-encoded CGM  files  con-
         form to the WebCGM profile.
    
         plotfont  -T  pcl,  which  produces   PCL   5   output   for
         Hewlett-Packard  printers  and  plotters, is affected by the
         environment variable PCL_ASSIGN_COLORS. It should be set  to
         "yes"  when  producing  PCL  5 output for a color printer or
         other color device.  This will ensure accurate color  repro-
         duction  by  giving  the  output  device complete freedom in
         assigning colors, internally, to its "logical pens".  If  it
         is  "no"  then  the  device  will use a fixed set of colored
         pens, and will emulate other colors by shading.  The default
         is  "no"  because  monochrome  PCL 5 devices, which are much
         more common than colored ones, must use shading  to  emulate
         color.
    
         plotfont -T hpgl, which  produces  Hewlett-Packard  Graphics
         Language  output,  is  affected by several environment vari-
         ables.  The most important is HPGL_VERSION, which may be set
         to  "1",  "1.5",  or  "2" (the default).  "1" means that the
         output should be generic HP-GL, "1.5" means that the  output
         should  be suitable for the HP7550A graphics plotter and the
         HP758x, HP7595A and HP7596A drafting  plotters  (HP-GL  with
         some  HP-GL/2  extensions),  and  "2"  means that the output
         should be modern HP-GL/2.  If the version is  "1"  or  "1.5"
         then  the only available fonts will be vector fonts, and all
         lines will be drawn with a default width.  Additionally,  if
         the version is "1" then the filling of arbitrary curves with
         solid color will not be supported  (circles  and  rectangles
         aligned with the coordinate axes may be filled, though).
    
         The position of the plotfont -T hpgl graphics display on the
         page  can  be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise by setting
         the HPGL_ROTATE environment variable to "yes".  This is  not
         the  same  as  the  rotation  obtained  with  the --rotation
         option, since it both rotates the graphics display and repo-
         sitions  its  lower left corner toward another corner of the
         page.   Besides  "no"  and  "yes",  recognized  values   for
         HPGL_ROTATE  are "0", "90", "180", and "270". "no" and "yes"
         are equivalent to "0" and  "90",  respectively.   "180"  and
         "270"  are  supported  only  if  HPGL_VERSION  is  "2"  (the
         default).
    
         By default, plotfont -T hpgl will draw with a fixed  set  of
         pens.   Which  pens  are present may be specified by setting
         the HPGL_PENS environment variable.  If HPGL_VERSION is "1",
         the default value of HPGL_PENS is "1=black"; if HPGL_VERSION
         is  "1.5"  or  "2",  the  default  value  of  HPGL_PENS   is
         "1=black:2=red:3=green:4=yellow:5=blue:6=magenta:7=cyan".
         The format should be self-explanatory.  By setting HPGL_PENS
         you  may  specify a color for any pen in the range #1...#31.
         All color names recognized by the X  Window  System  may  be
         used.   Pen #1 must always be present, though it need not be
         black.  Any other pen in the range #1...#31 may be omitted.
    
         If HPGL_VERSION is "2" then plotfont -T hpgl  will  also  be
         affected  by the environment variable HPGL_ASSIGN_COLORS. If
         its value is "yes", then plotfont -T hpgl will not  be  res-
         tricted  to  the  palette  specified  in  HPGL_PENS: it will
         assign colors to "logical pens" in the  range  #1...#31,  as
         needed.   The default value is "no" because other than color
         LaserJet printers and DesignJet plotters, not  many  HP-GL/2
         devices allow the assignment of colors to logical pens.
    
         Opaque filling and the drawing of visible  white  lines  are
         supported  only  if  HPGL_VERSION is "2" and the environment
         variable HPGL_OPAQUE_MODE is "yes" (the  default).   If  its
         value  is "no" then white lines (if any), which are normally
         drawn with pen #0, will not be drawn.  This  feature  is  to
         accommodate  older  HP-GL/2  devices.  HP-GL/2 pen plotters,
         for example, do not support opacity or the use of pen #0  to
         draw  visible  white lines.  Some older HP-GL/2 devices may,
         in fact, malfunction if asked to draw opaque objects.
    
         plotfont -T tek, which produces output for a Tektronix  ter-
         minal or emulator, checks the TERM environment variable.  If
         the value of  TERM  is  a  string  beginning  with  "xterm",
         "nxterm", or "kterm", it is taken as a sign that plotfont is
         running in an X Window System  VT100  terminal  emulator:  a
         copy  of  xterm(1),  nxterm(1), or kterm(1).  Before drawing
         graphics, plotfont -T tek will emit an escape sequence  that
         causes  the  terminal emulator's auxiliary Tektronix window,
         which is normally hidden, to pop up.  After the graphics are
         drawn, an escape sequence that returns control to the origi-
         nal VT100 window will be emitted.  The Tektronix window will
         remain on the screen.
    
         If the value of TERM is a string  beginning  with  "kermit",
         "ansi.sys", or "nansi.sys", it is taken as a sign that plot-
         font is running in the VT100 terminal emulator  provided  by
         the  MS-DOS  version of kermit(1).  Before drawing graphics,
         plotfont -T tek will emit an escape sequence  that  switches
         the  terminal emulator to Tektronix mode.  Also, some of the
         Tektronix control codes emitted by plotfont -T tek  will  be
         kermit-specific.   There  will  be a limited amount of color
         support, which is not normally the case (the  16  `ansi.sys'
         colors will be supported).  After drawing graphics, plotfont
         -T tek will emit an escape sequence that returns the  emula-
         tor  to  VT100  mode.   The  key sequence `ALT minus' can be
         employed manually within kermit to switch  between  the  two
         modes.
