.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module allows you to create a custom font based on an existing font,
adjusting the scale, stroke thickness, angle, and other properties of each
glyph.
.SH "FONT OPTIONS"
.IX Header "FONT OPTIONS"
.SS hscale
.IX Subsection "hscale"
A percentage to condense (less than 100) or expand (greater than 100) the glyphs
horizontally.
.SS angle
.IX Subsection "angle"
A number of degrees to lean the glyphs to the left (negative angle) or to the
right (positive angle).
.SS bold
.IX Subsection "bold"
A stroke width, in thousandths of a text unit, to add to the glyph's outline,
creating a bold effect.
.SS smallcaps
.IX Subsection "smallcaps"
Set to true to replace lower-case characters with small versions of their
upper-case glyphs.
.SS space
.IX Subsection "space"
Additional space, in thousandths of a text unit, to add between glyphs.
