.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
prints up to 10 chars of each
.Ar string
in large letters on the standard output.
.Pp
The options are:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl b Ar bg
Use
.Ar bg
as the background color (character) rather than the default
.Dq \ .
.It Fl f Ar fg
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.

.Nm
font.
