8.6 Designing PostScript Prologues
==================================

It is pretty known that satisfying the various human tastes is an
NEXPTIME-hard problem, so a2ps offers ways to customize its output
through the "prologue files".  But since the authors feel a little small
against NEXPTIME, they agreed on the fact that *you* are the one who
will design the look you like.

   Hence in this section, you will find what you need to know to be able
to customize a2ps output.

   Basically, a2ps uses "faces" which are associated to their "meaning"
in the text.  a2ps let's you change the way the faces look.
