NAME
    ogonkify - international support for PostScript

SYNOPSIS
    ogonkify  [-p procset] [-e encoding] [-r Old=New] [-a] [-c] [-h] [-t]
    [-A] [-C] [-H] [-T] [-AT] [-CT] [-ATH] [-CTH] [-E] [-N] [-M]  [-mp]
    [-SO] [-AX] [-F] [-RS] [--] file ...

DESCRIPTION
    ogonkify  does various munging of PostScript files related to printing
    in different languages. Its main use is to filter the output of
    Netscape, Mosaic and other programs in order to print in languages that
    don't use the standard Western-European encoding (ISO 8859-1).

SUMMARY USAGE
    Installation instructions are provided in the file INSTALL.  Assuming
    the installation has been correctly completed, save the PostScript out-
    put of Netscape or Mosaic to a file, say output.ps.  Then print it
    using

    % ogonkify -AT -N output.ps | lpr

    in the case of Netscape, or

    % ogonkify -AT -M output.ps | lpr

    in the case of Mosaic.

    You may  want to change the -AT option to -CT in order to use a high
    quality Courier font from IBM (at the price of slower printing).

    An alternative way to print from Netscape is to set the printing com-
    mand in the printing dialog box to:

    ogonkify -AT -N | lpr

    For more details, see the USAGE section below.

OPTIONS
    -p   Includes the specified procset in the output file.

    -e   Set the encoding of the output. Defaults to L2 (ISO 8859-2,
    a.k.a. ISO Latin-2). Other possible values are L1  (ISO 8859-1,
    a.k.a. ISO Latin-1), L3 (ISO 8859-3, a.k.a. ISO Latin-3), L4
    (ISO 8859-4, a.k.a. ISO Latin-4), L5 (ISO 8859-9, a.k.a. ISO
    Latin-5), L6 (ISO 8859-10, a.k.a. ISO Latin-6), L7 (ISO 8859-13,
    a.k.a. ISO Latin-7), L9 (ISO 8859-15, a.k.a. ISO Latin-9),
    CP1250 (Microsoft Code Page 1250, a.k.a. CeP), ibmpc (Original
    IBM-PC encoding), mac (Apple Macintosh encoding) and hp (HP
    Roman Encoding).

    -r   Use the font New in place of Old. Will lead to ugly or unread-
    able output when the metrics mismatch.

    -a   Do the right font remappings for using Courier-Ogonki in  place
    of Courier (the  a stands for  Adobe Courier). This avoids
    downloading any fonts to the printer.

    -c   Do the right font remappings for using IBM Courier in place of
    Adobe Courier.

    -t   Do the right font remappings for using Times-Roman-Ogonki in
    place of Times-Roman.

    -h   Do the right font remappings for using Helvetica-Ogonki in place
    of Helvetica.

    -A   Like -a but also downloads the Courier-Ogonki fonts.

    -C   Like -c, but also downloads the IBM Courier fonts.

    -H   Like -h, but also downloads the Helvetica-xxx-Ogonki fonts.

    -T   Like -t, but also downloads the Times-xxx-Ogonki fonts.

    -CT  Equivalent to -C -T.

    -CTH  Equivalent to -C -T -H.

    -E   Add the Euro currency sign to all standard fonts (use with -e
    L9).

    -N   Do Netscape processing.

    -M   Do Mosaic processing.

    -mp  Do mp processing.  Will not work with the -A option (use -C
    instead).

    -SO  Do StarOffice processing.

    -AX  Do ApplixWare processing.

    -F   Do XFig processing.

    -RS  Recode standard fonts. This is likely to work with applications
    that leave fonts in AdobeStandardEncoding, typically applica-
    tions that do not even support printing even of characters.

    --   End options.

USAGE
    Let us assume that you want to print a WWW page encoded in ISO Latin-2.
    Netscape stubbornly insists on printing it as ISO Latin-1. By using the
    File->Print command, have Netscape send the output to a file, say ala-
    makota.ps.

    As ogonkify is configured for ISO Latin-2 by default, passing it the
    PostScript generated by Netscape will correct the encoding of the
    fonts. It is enough to do:

    % ogonkify -N <alamakota.ps | lpr

    However, most printers do not have fonts  with the needed characters
    installed; synthetized fonts will be downloaded and used instead of
    Courier and Times-Roman with -AT, and a very good Courier font from IBM
    will be used with: -CT. The command will therefore typically be:

    % ogonkify -N -AT <alamakota.ps | lpr

    or eventually

    % ogonkify -N -CT <alamakota.ps | lpr

    Typical usage with other programs is:

    % ogonkify -M -AT <alamakota.ps | lpr
    % ogonkify -mp -AT <alamakota.ps | lpr
    % ogonkify -SO -AT <alamakota.ps | lpr
    % ogonkify -AX -ATH <alamakota.ps | lpr
    % ogonkify -XF -ATH <alamakota.ps | lpr

BUGS
    Characters with  an `ogonek' should be constructed differently (for
    instance, the `ogonek' used with an `a' should be differently shaped
    than the one used with an `e'.)

    It would be better to patch the programs we have the sources to than to
    post-process the produced PostScript.

    The program is written in Perl.

NOTES
    In order to view the output PostScript with Ghostscript, you might need
    to run gs with the flag -dNOPLATFONTS, and ghostview with the flag
    -arguments -dNOPLATFONTS.

THANKS
    Much of  the composite  character data have been provided by Primoz
    Peterlin, H. Turgut Uyar, Ricardas Cepas, Kristof Petrovay and Jan
    Prikryl.

    Jacek Pliszka provided  the support for StarOffice. Andrzej Baginski
    provided the support for ApplixWare.

    Markku Rossi wrote genscript and provided many useful encoding vectors
    with the distribution.

    Throughout writing the Postscript code, I used the ghostscript inter-
    preter, by Peter Deutsch.

    Larry Wall wrote perl, the syntax and semantics of which  are a  never
    ending source of puzzlement.
