PAPS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   PAPS(1)

NAME

       paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango

SYNOPSIS

       paps [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves
       through the pango ft2 backend.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       --landscape
	      Landscape output. Default is portrait.

       --columns=cl
	      Number of columns output. Default is 1.
	      Please notice this option isn't related to the terminal length as in a "80 culums terminal".

       --font=desc
	      Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12.

       --rtl  Do right to left (RTL) layout.

       --paper ps
	      Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter and A4. Default is A4.

       Postscript points
	      Each postscript point equals to 1/72 of an inch. 36 points are 1/2 of an inch.

       --bottom-margin=bm
	      Set bottom margin. Default is 36 postscript points.

       --top-margin=tm
	      Set top margin. Default is 36 postscript points.

       --left-margin=lm
	      Set left margin. Default is 36 postscript points.

       --right-margin=rm
	      Set right margin. Default is 36 postscript points.

       --gutter-width=gw
	      Set gutter width. Default is 40 postscript points.

       --help Show summary of options.

       --header
	      Draw page header for each page.

       --markup
	      Interpret the text as pango markup.

       --lpi  Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing.

       --cpi  Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size.

       --stretch-chars
	      Indicates  that  characters  should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops
	      behaviour.

pbmtextps(1)                                                  General Commands Manual                                                 pbmtextps(1)

NAME

       pbmtextps - render text into a bitmap via postscript

SYNOPSIS

       pbmtextps [-font fontfile] [-fontsize fontsize] [-resolution resolution] [-stroke strokesize] [-verbose [text]

DESCRIPTION

       pbmtextps takes a single line of text from the command line and renders it into a PBM image.

       The  image  is cropped at the top and the right. It is not cropped at the left or bottom so that the text begins at the same position rela-
       tive to the origin. You can use pnmcrop to crop it all the way.

OPTIONS

       -font  By default, pbmtextps uses TimesRoman.  You can specify the font to use with the -font option. This is the name of any  valid  post-
              script font which is installed on your system.

       -fontsize
              Size of font in points. See the -resolution option for information on how to interpret this size.

              Default is 24 points.

       -resolution
              Resolution in dots per inch of distance measurements pertaining to generation of the image. PBM images don't have any inherent reso-
              lution, so a distance such as "1 inch" doesn't mean anything unless you separately specify what  resolution  you're  talking  about.
              That's what this option does.

              In  particular,  the  meaning of the font size is determined by this resolution. If the font size is 24 points and the resolution is
              150 dpi, then the font size is 50 pixels.

              Default is 150 dpi.

       -stroke
              Width of line to use for stroke font. There is no default stroke width because the letters are solid by default.

USAGE

       See pbmtext for usage examples.
