NAME

       hershey-font-gnuplot - Hershey vector fonts renderer for gnuplot

SYNOPSIS

       hershey-font-gnuplot [options] font 'Text to Render'

       hershey-font-gnuplot [options] font

DESCRIPTION

       The  Hershey  fonts  are  a  collection  of vector fonts developed circa 1967 by Dr. A. V.
       Hershey.

       hershey-font-gnuplot renders Hershey font text in the form of a gnuplot input  file.   Its
       output must be piped to gnuplot as shown in the EXAMPLES section below.

       If  no 'Text to Render' is specified, a font sample sheet displaying all the font's glyphs
       will be generated.

FONTS

       The font parameter must be the name of a system-installed Hershey font or the filename  of
       a Hershey font .jhf file.  The Hershey fonts likely to be installed are:

       astrology,  cursive,  cyrillic,  futural, futuram, gothgbt, gothgrt, gothiceng, gothicger,
