This port adds Chinese support to enscript, which means it can convert a BIG5/CNS plain text to a PS document, with all the fancy features provided by enscript. Unlike bg5ps, it can't manage GB yet, but it's easy to add. Another useful feature is with the ps2pdf and zh-ghostscript6, it is now possible to generate font-embedded Chinese pdf document from plain text on the fly, which also means platform-independent. Due to some problems in the CMap files provided by Adobe, Eten-B5-H and B5-H CMaps are unable to map correct ascii glyphs in TTFs. BIG5 users are suggested to use B5pc-H for the time being. Maybe it's time to re-organize ports/chinese/* font relationships. |

Sept. 9 2000: This version of enscript is patched by Chen-Shan Chin (cschin@u.washington.edu) to support BIG5 and UniCNS-UTF8 encoded text file. Two new encoding name "big5" and "UniCNS-UTF8" are added. Since there is no easy way to get AFM for CJK CID-font, I simply assign the width for the same for all character. You need to have a CID-font for these encoding to use this function. Chen-Shan Chin
