WStroff (chtex -w) Font Features
.fs-3

.tx
WStroff of chtex  is a command-driven text formatter as described
in ^ichtex.doc^i. It can format Chinese/English text files with output in
.ex ps
format. It takes three kinds of commands, i.e., troff-like dot commands, but
the current syntax is more like WordStar kinds; hat '^' commands and comment
^%. It supports all the 
.ex ps
built-in fonts in 8 families, such as Times family that includes four
basic typefaces, i.e., Times-Roman,
Times-Bold, Times-Italic, and Times-BoldItalic, and the default is Courier
family. Besides the four basic typefaces in each family, three other typefaces
are added, i.e., typewriter font, outline font and Symbol font.
In order to use these fonts, however, the TFM files in ~/PStfms
should be properly installed. Below is the list of font families, but
it is not guaranteed that all of them are supported by a particular 
.ex ps
printer.

This document tries to demonstrate the fonts alternatives for English text.
For Chinese fonts, there is only one style for the timebeing, but the font size
can still be scaled arbitarily as Adobe fonts, and slant feature can be used
to emulate italic effects.
