[1mNAME
     [0mf2p - translates fig output into pic language

[1mSYNOPSIS
     f2p [0m[ -f font_file ] [ input_file [ output_file ] ]

[1mDESCRIPTION
     [0m_F_2_p translates fig objects in the named _i_n_p_u_t__f_i_l_e into pic
     language and puts them in _o_u_t_p_u_t__f_i_l_e. If only one file name
     is present, it is assumed to be the input file (fig output
     file).  The output file (_p_i_c__f_i_l_e), if not present, will be
     the stdout.  If the _i_n_p_u_t__f_i_l_e is not present, input will be
     assumed to come from the stdin.

     The fonts used for text objects are converted from their
     LaserWriter names (as selected when using fig) to site-
     specific troff 2-letter font names using information in the
     file /usr/lib/X11/troff/troff_ft_codes, or a file named
     using the optional [1m-f [0margument.  If a file named with this
     option is not found in the working directory it will be
     sought in /usr/lib/X11/troff.

[1mBUGS
     [0mFilling of closed objects is ignored.  It would be possible
     to generate _p_i_c instructions to produce some form of filling
     in _f_2_p, but the filling feature really needs to be added to
     _p_i_c.
