Hi,

I found your page regarding Unicode BDF fonts and thought you might be
interested in my new program, "txtbdf2ps". Its home page is
http://www.linuxstart.com/~winitzki/txtbdf2ps.html and it's a perl
script that can take a text file in either 8-bit ASCII or UTF-8, take a
BDF font file, and produce compact Postscript output that can be printed
on most printers. (The BDF font is embedded as a set of bitmaps while
the Postscript font machinery is hacked to accept more than 256
characters.) I would be interested to hear what you think about it.
Right now the latest development version supports Unicode input although
it is limited to the first 65535 characters.

Regards,
