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,  gothicita,
       gothitt,  greekc,  greek,  greeks,  japanese,  markers,  mathlow,  mathupp,  meteorology, music, rowmand,
       rowmans, rowmant, scriptc, scripts, symbolic, timesg, timesib, timesi, timesrb, timesr

              See gnuplot's set terminal command for more output type options.  If not specified, an X11  window
