Jing-Tang Keith Jang 995edaf768 Initial version.
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.
