NAME

       uniprint - produce postscript output from unicode text for printing

SYNOPSIS

       uniprint  [  -out  output-file  ]  [  -in input-file ] [ -decode encoding ] [ -printer printer ] [ -L ] [ -media media ] [ -us ] [ -nus ] [
       -break ] [ -wrap ] [ -left ] [ -right ] [ -size font-size ] [ -hsize header-font-size ] [ -font truetype-font-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       uniprint is a program from the yudit distribution. It makes a formatted poscript output that can be saved or directly sent to the  printer.
       The program needs a TrueType font that has unicode table in order  to operate.

       If  you	are  running Linux you most probably have unicode truetype fonts, because there are very few vendors, if any. who give discount if
       you do not buy Windows. If you are running other Unices it is still possible to get a freely available font. I  have  made  ciberbit.ttf  a
       default font for uniprint, mainly because it is freely downloadable from http://www.bitstream.com/.

       The postcript output contains all drawing information. No extra fonts are needed, and it can be printed on any postscript printer.  You may
       encounter probkems with old ghostview or old printers. I used this program with ghostscript 5.10  because  2.6.2  gave  me  stack  overflow
       error.

OPTIONS

       -out ouput-file
	      Do  not sent the output to the printer, put it in the file instead.  If the '-' character is specified, send the postscript data	to
	      the standard output.

       -in input-file
	      If specified read the document from a file. Read stdin otherwise.

       -decode encoding
	      specifies the encoding of the input text.  All encodings that are available for uniconv can be used. If not  specified  encoding	is
	      set to utf-8.

       -printer printer
	      Send the postscript output to printer through the 'lpr -P Printer' command.

       -break option makes this program print a graphical representation of line breaking characters.

       -us    option turns on uniscribe emulation. For some scripts emulation is turned on by default.

       -nus   option turns off uniscribe emulation. For some scripts emulation is turned off by default.

       -wrap  option makes this program do a simplistic line breaking on word boundaries.

       -left  option sets the embedding of the document to Left.

       -right option sets the embedding of the document to Right.

       -L     Selects landscape printing. The default is portrait.

       -media media
	      Sets  paper  size.  The default is A4. The following media values are accepted: A3, A4, A5, B4, B5, Executive, Folio, Ledger, Legal,
	      Letter, Quarto, Statement, Tabloid

       -size font-size
	      sets the size of the font for the text body in points.

       -hsize heder-font-size
	      sets the size of the font for the header in points.  If zero size is specified, no header is printed.

       -font truetype-font
	      specifies the font to be used for printing.

	      truetype-font is the full pathname of the font, like /somepath/myfonts/cyberbit.ttf or just the name of the file cyberbit.ttf.   The
	      fonts  are searched using  yudit.fontpath property in ~/.yudit/yudit.properties or /usr/share/yudit/config/yudit.properties.  direc-
	      tory where the font files are kept.  By default /usr/share/yudit/fonts and ~/.yudit/fonts are searched.  This option can	be  speci-
	      fied multiple times, to create a virtual font.

FILES

       ~/.yudit/yudit.properties or /usr/share/yudit/config/yudit.properties can have yudit.fontpath and yudit.datapath properties.  The former is
       where the font files, the latter is where the map files are kept.  By default /usr/share/yudit/fonts is searched.
