NAME

       textps - text to PostScript filter
       nscript - text to PostScript converter

SYNOPSIS

       textps [ -T[option[,option]*]* ] [ lpr filter options ] [ filename...  ]

       options: [ c=n ] [ l=n ] [ m=n ] [ t=n ] [ v=n ]

       nscript [ -G ] [ -r ] [ -2 ] [ -t width ] [ -pfile ] [ -Pprinter ] [ filename...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       textps  is  a simple text to PostScript filter.	When invoked as nscript it (weakly) simulates the Adobe Systems Incorporated enscript pro-
       gram, converting text to PostScript and adding headers.	textps is usually invoked automatically by a print spooler while nscript  is  usu-
       ally  invoked  by  a  user.   Input files can use ISO Latin-1.  Two or more identical overstruck characters are rendered using a bold font.
       Tabs are assumed to be set every 8 character positions.	textps is designed to produce good output with lpr -p or pr | lpr;  if	you  print
       unpaginated text, you will need to increase the t option value and decrease the v or l option value.

TEXTPS OPTIONS

       c=n    Use n characters to the inch.

       l=n    Use n lines per page.

       m=n    Use a left margin of n points.

       t=n    Position the baseline of the first line of text n points below the top of the page.

       v=n    Use a vertical spacing of n points.

       The default behaviour is -Tc=12,l=66,m=18,t=8,v=12.

NSCRIPT OPTIONS

       By default, nscript will send the formatted output to lpr; the -P option can select the printer.

       -G     Gaudy output - a header and labels for the input files are placed on the output page.

       -r     rotated (landscape) output.

       -twidth
	      Set tab stop to width characters.

       -2     two column output.

       -pfile send output to file.

       -Pprinter
	      spool output to printer using lpr.

       Note: the combination nscript -2Gr is useful for viewing listings.

NAME

       jtops - postscript filter for printing Japanese characters on Sun Laser Writer or Japanese postscript printer

SYNOPSIS

       jtops [-12rRjJvwWmg] [-ln] [-s size] [-f font] [filename...]

AVAILABILITY

       SUNWjfpu

DESCRIPTION

       jtops  is  a  filter  for  converting Japanese characters to Japanese postscript output which uses Kanji font on a printer side. Input from
       stdin is converted and sent to stdout.

       If there is no filename, the standard input is read.

       By default, it forms font size 10 and 66 lines per page for the portrait form.

       Before checking options specified in command lines, it interprets the strings in the JTOPS environment variable as options.

OPTIONS

       -1	1 column output (by default).

       -2	2 columns output.

       -r	Rotate for the landscape form.

       -R	Output in the portrait form (by default).

       -v	Use Kanji-fonts of printer (for the Japanese PostScript printer by default).

       -l n	Specify the number of lines per page as  n (by default 66).

       -m	Use Ming style as Japanese fonts (by default).

       -g	Use Gothic style as Japanese fonts. As alphabetic fonts use Courier-Bold style unless -f option is specified.

       -f font	Specify alphabetic fonts in font. By default, use Courier style without -g option, otherwise Courier-Bold style.

       -s size	Set font size to size.	When the fontsize is specified with -s, the lines per page are calculated as follows:

			portrait: 720 / (fontsize + 1)

			landscape: 550 / (fontsize + 1)

-j	 Use half size alphanumeric of Japanese fonts as alphanumeric fonts.

-J	 Use Courier as alphanumeric fonts( by default).

-W	 Control the ratio of alphanumeric character and Japanese to be 1:2, except changeable width of alphanumeric fonts( by default).

-w	 Not control the ratio of alphanumeric character and Japanese.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1:

       example% jtops -j -l40 -s11 filename | lpr
       example% pr -l120 filename | jtops -l120 -s5 | lpr
       example% jtops -2r filename | lpr
