How to reduce font size in a file

HPUX 11iv2 #!/bin/sh

Hi all. I have a script that results in the creation of an ascii file which is ultimately emailed out to several people. The email wraps each line so I would like to reduce the font size of the ascii file. I looked at nroff and also tr but it wasn't clear to me how to do this. I would really like to just cat the file and pipe to to another file with the reduced font size.

Any ideas? TIA!!!!

Font size is formatting information, straight ascii files do not contain formatting information. You would need some formatting added such as *roff, postscript, html or RTF in order for the file to contain formatting information.

ascii does not stores font information,
If you are talking about font size in mail, you need to used formatting like HTML
It will not help you in email size but can help you in making email look smaller

Another option can be to change the default fontface and fontsize in email client ,if you are using web mail, change browsers default font setting
