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.

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.
