CURSIVE(6)CURSIVE(6)NAMEcursive - print text in cursive script
SYNOPSIScursive [ -in ] [ -tn ] [message]
DESCRIPTION
Cursive prints a line of text in a rather crude cursive script. It is
intended for use mainly for the generation of decorative signatures for
electronic mail. If message text is given on the command line, that
text is used. Otherwise the text will be read from standard input up
to an end of file. The -i option sets the minimum spacing between
adjacent characters. The default is -i1 . The -t option sets the
length of the trailing lines on the end of each word. The default is
-t1 .
The '_' character is treated in a special way. It may be inserted in
the text anywhere you wish to lengthen a connecting line between two
letters.
BUGS
Many ASCII characters are not defined, notably the numbers and symbols.
Punctuation is mostly available. Some characters are rather ugly. The
author has lousy handwriting.
