NAME
      sctext - display scaled text


SYNOPSIS
      sctext [ -display displayname ] [ -aspect ] [ -filename textfile ] [
      -string display string ] [ -fn font pattern ]

DESCRIPTION
      sctext demonstrates scalable fonts.  By default, it displays the given
      string or the contents of filename in a window, with a font scaled to
      match the window's size.  If the -aspect flag is given, the program will
      request that any window manager retain its aspect ratio so that the text
      is evenly scaled.  Otherwise the text will be anamorphically scaled to
      fit the window.  A new font pattern can be specified with the -fn option.
      sctext will attempt to use the set of fonts that match this pattern.  If
      the fonts are not scalable, it will attempt to use the bitmap font
      instance which best fits.
