RE: Change Printed Font

I found the path to the fonts /usr/share/enscript.  Then I did # cat
*.afm | grep FontName which give me a list of names I can use with
enscript's -f option
thanks

Pete,
I was able to get my margin the way I wanted using the enscript command
and it lets me change the font, but I can't seem to determine the
available font types/names that can be used.  Do you know how I can get
a list of available fonts.  Man page for enscript shows Courier and
Times-Roman.
This is what I'm using:
enscript --no-header -fTimes-Roman10 --margin=7:7:21:21 --output=test.ps
text.txt
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,
hmmm.

I can't seem to get my printer to do anything less than about 3/8", but
it may 
be a limitation of the printer.
when I use:
a2ps -R -B --lines-per-page=120 --borders=yes --margin=0 somefile I get
a 3/8" offset, but the right border line is missing so my printer can't 
quite deal with it (or it is not tracking right, it's old). I use a HP
lj6p.

Does --list=defaults show the correct medium (A4, Letter...)? If you set
--margin=40 you don't see a large left margin? Do you know if that
printer can print closer to the edge of the page?
