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. directory where the font files are kept.
By default /usr/share/yudit/fonts and ~/.yudit/fonts are searched. This option can
be specified multiple times, to create a virtual font.
