RE: program to print utf-8 on postscript printers

["McDonald, Ira" <imcdonald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Also in the CUPS (Common UNIX Print System) which ships with most
all Linux distributions, the filter 'texttops' reads plaintext
UTF-8 and writes PostScript.  See:

My proof-of-concept best-effort UTF-8 formatter for Postscript:

  http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/utf2ps.c
  http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/utf2ps.ps

My practically useful best-effort UTF-8/ISO 8859/etc. formatter for HP PCL:

  http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/hpp.c
  http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/hpp-repertoire.txt

A more serious best-effort UTF-8 formatter for Postscript:

Hope this helped ...

Markus
