+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fIfontglide\fP program reads text from a subprocess and puts it on
+the screen using large characters that glide in from the edges,
+assemble, then disperse. Alternately, it can simply scroll whole
+sentences from right to left.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I fontglide
+accepts the following options:
+.TP 8
+.B \-window
+Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
+.TP 8
+.B \-root
+Draw on the root window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-install
+Install a private colormap for the window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-visual \fIvisual\fP\fP
+Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class,
+or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
+.TP 8
+.B \-delay \fIusecs\fP
+The delay between steps of the animation, in microseconds: default 10000.
+.TP 8
+.B \-page
+With this option, a page full of text will glide in, and disperse.
+.TP 8
+.B \-scroll
+With this option, sentences will scroll by from right to left.
+.TP 8
+.B \-random
+The default is to pick randomly between \fI\-page\fP and \fI\-scroll\fP.
+.TP 8
+.B \-speed \fIfloat\fP
+How fast to animate; 2 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.
+Default 1.0.
+.TP 8
+.B \-linger \fIfloat\fP
+How long to leave the assembled text on the screen in \fI\-page\fP mode;
+2 means twice as long, 0.5 means half as long. Default 1.0. (The more
+words there are on the screen, the longer it lingers.)
+.TP 8
+.B \-program \fIsh-command\fP
+The command to run to generate the text to display. This option may be
+any string acceptable to /bin/sh. The program will be run at the end of
+a pipe, and any words that it prints to \fIstdout\fP will end up on
+the window. (Whitespace and line breaks are ignored.) If the program
+exits, it will be launched again after we have processed all the text
+it produced. Default:
+.BR fortune (1).
+.TP 8
+.B \-font\fP \fIstring\fP
+The base font pattern to use when loading fonts. The default is to search
+for any Latin1 scalable proportional fonts on the system. Once a base font
+is selected, it will be loaded in a random size.
+.TP 8
+.B \-bw \fIint\fP
+How thick an outline to draw around the characters. Default 2 pixels.
+.TP 8
+.B \-trails\fP
+Leave "vapor trails" behind the moving text. Default off.
+.TP 8
+.B \-no-db\fP
+Turn off double-buffering. It may be faster, but will flicker.
+.TP 8
+.B \-debug\fP
+Draw some boxes showing character metrics, and print the name of the
+current font to stderr.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.PP
+.TP 8
+.B DISPLAY
+to get the default host and display number.
+.TP 8
+.B XENVIRONMENT
+to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
+stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
