.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIstarwars\fP program runs another program to generate a stream of
text, then animates that text receeding into the background at an angle,
Some examples:
.EX
-starwars -columns 30 -program \\
- 'wget -qO- http://webcrawler.com/cgi-bin/SearchTicker'
-starwars -columns 76 -program 'cat /usr/src/linux/README'

-starwars -no-wrap -left -program 'finger @gnu.org'
-starwars -no-wrap -left -program 'ps -ef'

.EE
.TP 8
.B \-size \fIinteger\fP
How large a font to use, in points. (Well, in some arbitrary unit
-we're calling "points" for the sake of argument.) The \fB\-columns\fP
-option overrides this.
+we're calling "points" for the sake of argument.) Default: 24.
.TP 8
.B \-columns \fIinteger\fP
How many columns of text should be visible on the bottom line of the
-screen. The default is 80. This option overrides the \fB\-size\fP
-option: if you specify a number of columns, the font will be scaled
-as needed to fit.
+screen. Default: 60.
+
+Only one of \fI\-columns\fP and \fI\-size\fP may be specified;
+if both are specified, \fI\-columns\fP takes priority.
.TP 8
.B \-wrap
Word-wrap lines when they reach the rightmost column. This is the default.
.B \-delay \fIusecs\fP
The delay between steps of the animation; default is 40000 (1/25th second.)
.TP 8
-.B \-fps
-Display a running tally of how many frames per second are being rendered.
-In conjunction with \fB\-delay 0\fP, this can be a useful benchmark of
-your GL performance.
+.B \-font \fIfont-name\fP
+The name of the font to use. For best effect, this should be a large
+font (at least 36 points.) The bigger the font, the better looking the
+characters will be. Note that the size of this font affects only the
+clarity of the characters, not their size on the screen: for that, use
+the \fI\-size\fP or \fI\-columns\fP options.
+
+Default: -*-utopia-bold-r-normal-*-*-720-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
+.TP 8
+.B \-no\-textures
+Instead of texture-mapping a real font to render the text, use a
+built-in font composed of line segments. On graphics cards without
+texture support, the line-segment font will have much better
+performance.
.TP 8
.B \-no\-smooth
-Turn off anti-aliasing of the lines used to draw the font.
-This will make the text blockier, but may improve performance.
+When using the line-segment font, turn off anti-aliasing of the lines
+used to draw the font. This will make the text blockier, but may
+improve performance.
.TP 8
.B \-no\-thick
-Turn off use of thick lines for the characters that are close to the
-foreground. This will make the text appear unnaturally skinny, but
-may improve performance.

+.TP 8
+.B \-fps
+Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
