.It Fl b Ar bg
2001-12-01 19:43:07 +03:00
Use
.Ar bg
as the background color (character) rather than the default
.Dq \ .
.It Fl f Ar fg
2001-12-01 19:43:07 +03:00
Use
.Ar fg
as the foreground color (character) rather than the default
.Dq # .
If
.Ar fg
is
.Dq - ,
then the actual letter being printed is used as the
foreground color in the same way that LPD does it.
The results are quite variable.
.It Fl l
Use the more attractive LPD font instead of the traditional
.Nm
font.
